Nottingham Forest v Norwich City - How to watch City Ground clash, team news

Nottingham Forest welcome league leaders Norwich City to the City Ground this evening for what is sure to be a tough test.

After successive defeats, Chris Hughton’s side drew 1-1 at home to Reading last time out, leaving them 17th in the table.

Ahead of Tuesday night’s Championship fixtures, the Reds have a nine-point cushion between themselves and the bottom three, with 10 games remaining.

But they will come up against a visiting side who look on course for a return to the Premier League, sitting top of the table, 10 points clear of second-placed Watford.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Reds’ midweek clash with the Canaries.

Team news

The Reds have been dealt a couple of big injury blows in the last couple of days.

Winger Joe Lolley posted on Instagram that his season has come to an early end after suffering a hamstring injury in Saturday’s stalemate.

Boss Hughton is also likely to be without defender Joe Worrall until after the upcoming international break, due to a cracked rib.

However, both Scott McKenna and Lewis Grabban made their comebacks from a spell on the sidelines against the Royals.

Midfielder Harry Arter stepped up his recovery from a calf issue by featuring for the Under-23s on Monday afternoon, but he was withdrawn after just 23 minutes.
