Chris Hughton reveals Nottingham Forest team to face QPR

Nottingham Forest boss Chris Hughton made one change to his starting line-up for his side’s clash with QPR.


Filip Krovinovic came back into the first XI for the Easter Monday match as the Reds looked to make it back-to-back wins after beating Cardiff City on Friday.

Cafu was the man to drop to the bench as the Reds were otherwise unchanged at the City Ground.

It meant Tyler Blackett retained his spot at left-back, joining Cyrus Christie, Joe Worrall and Scott McKenna in the Forest back line.

James Garner, who scored the winner against the Bluebirds, and Ryan Yates were set to take up the holding midfield roles.

And Krovinovic was set to take up his spot in the attacking three, alongside Alex Mighten and Sammy Ameobi, in support of lone striker Lewis Grabban.

Cafu would take his place among the substitutes, alongside Jordan Smith, Yuri Ribeiro, Loic Mbe Soh, Jack Colback, Luke Freeman, Glenn Murray, Anthony Knockaert and Lyle Taylor.

The Reds went into the game sitting 16th in the table with seven matches to go, and a 10-point cushion above the bottom three.

Forest: Samba, Christie, Worrall, McKenna, Blackett, Garner, Yates, Mighten, Krovinovic, Ameobi, Grabban. Subs: Smith, Ribeiro, Mbe Soh, Colback, Freeman, Murray, Cafu, Knockaert, Taylor.
