Nottingham Forest team news v Millwall: Sabri Lamouchi and Gary Rowett name starting lineups

Sabri Lamouchi has confirmed his Nottingham Forest starting line-up for this evening’s Sky Bet Championship clash against Millwall.

The Reds host the Lions at the City Ground this evening, as they look to pick up another three points in their bid to secure promotion to the Premier League.

Lamouchi has made one change from the side which was held to a 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough on Monday night.

Despite scoring at the Riverside, Ryan Yates drops to the bench and is replaced by Joao Carvalho, who made a substitute appearance on Teesside.

Samba Sow remains sidelined with a knee injury, while Tiago Silva is currently suffering from appendicitis which is ruling him out for his second match.

Goalkeeper Brice Samba retains his spot between the sticks, and is supported by a back four featuring Matty Cash, Joe Worrall, Tobias Figueiredo and Yuri Ribeiro.

Ben Watson captains the side in midfield, and is joined by Alfa Semedo in the middle of the park, with Carvalho expected to play in a more advanced role.

Sammy Ameobi, Joe Lolley and Lewis Grabban all retain their places from the draw with Boro.

Forest go into tonight’s match in fourth place in the Championship table, and have the chance to temporarily climb up to third with victory over the Lions this evening.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST: Samba (gk); Cash, Figueiredo, Worrall, Ribeiro; Watson (c), Semedo; Lolley, Cravalho, Ameobi; Grabban.

Subs: Muric (gk), Bostock, Diakhaby, Jenkinson, Dawson, Yates, Walker

MILLWALL: Bialkowski; Romeo, Hutchinson, Cooper, M Wallace; J Wallace, Molumby, Woods, Ferguson; Smith, Bennett.

Subs: Sandford, Pearce, Williams, Mahoney, O'Brien, Bradshaw, Bodvarsson.
