Sabri Lamouchi names his Nottingham Forest starting XI to face Luton Town

Sabri Lamouchi made three changes to his Nottingham Forest side for Sunday’s home date with the Championship’s bottom side Luton Town.

The Reds come into the game knowing a win would move them to within five points of the automatic promotion places after Leeds’ defeat at QPR on Saturday.

In come Michael Dawson, Albert Adomah and Joe Lolley, with Chema and Sammy Ameobi dropping to the bench, while Tobias Figueiredo misses out altogether through injury.

Forest start with number one goalkeeper Brice Samba in between the posts, Ribeiro at left-back, Matty Cash on the right either side of Joe Worrall and Dawson.

Samba Sow and Ben Watson will be the holding midfield duo, with Albert Adomah, Tiago Silva and the returning Lolley providing the service for 14-goal striker Lewis Grabban.

There was again no place on the bench for Aro Muric, with Jordan Smith the reserve stopper, joined by Joao Carvalho, Carl Jenkinson, Alfa Semedo, Ameobi, Ryan Yates and Chema Rodriguez.

Luton are rooted to the foot of the division, and haven’t won away from home since September, losing their last seven on the road.

They know a win on Trentside, however, would edge them closer to safety.

Forest: Samba, Cash, Worrall, Dawson, Ribeiro, Watson ©, Sow, Lolley, Silva, Adomah, Grabban. Subs: Smith, Semedo, Jenkinson, Carvalho, Ameobi, Yates, Chema.
