Who replaces Ryan Yates? Nottingham Forest fans want this starting line-up vs QPR

Nottingham Forest resume their Sky Bet Championship clash this evening as they take on Queens Park Rangers.

The Reds travel to Loftus Road to take on the R’s and go into the fixture in sixth place in the Championship table.

Sabri Lamouchi’s side were held to a goalless draw with Bristol City in their last outing, but have at least one game in hand on all of the teams above them in the table.

Earlier this week, we provided you with our predicted Reds starting line-up that we think Lamouchi could select to take on Mark Warburton’s side.

We also offered you the opportunity to select the Forest team that you would like to see line up against the R’s at Loftus Road.

The most popular Forest side, picked by Reds fans, sees one change from the side that drew with Bristol City on Saturday, with the suspended Ryan Yates the only player to make way.

Yates received a straight red card at Ashton Gate, and will miss tonight’s match in the first of a three-game suspension.

Forest fans have opted to replace Yates with Alfa Semedo, who has now recovered from a back injury which he sustained in the win over Barnsley in September.

The rest of the line-up remains unchanged, with Brice Samba between the sticks supported by a back four featuring Matty Cash, Joe Worrall, Tobias Figueiredo and Jack Robinson.

Ben Watson and Tiago Silva line up in midfielder alongside Semedo, with Joe Lolley and Sammy Ameobi used on the wings.

And, unsurprisingly, star striker Lewis Grabban is selected by Forest fans to be the lone frontman.

Do you agree with this XI? If you haven’t already done so, you can use our custom-designed widget to select the Forest line-up that you would prefer to see at Loftus Road.
