  • Three chages for Forest
  • Yates, Danilo & Awoniyi start
  • Hudson-Odoi & Elanga named on the bench

Nuno Espírito Santo has made three changes to his Nottingham Forest starting XI from the side that saw off Ipswich Town before the international break.

Ryan Yates, Danilo and Taiwo Awoniyi all come into the side in place of the injured Chris Wood, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga, with the latter two on the bench for today's Emirates FA Cup quarter final against Brighton & Hove Albion at the AMEX Stadium.

Matz Sels continues in goal in front of the central pairing of Nikola Milenković and Murillo. Ola Aina and Neco Williams line up in the full-back berths.

Yates skippers the Reds alongside Danilo in the middle of the park. Morgan Gibbs-White provides the support further up the midfield.

Nicolás Domínguez and Elliot Anderson provide the width for Awoniyi who leads the Forest attack.

Brighton meanwhile, have made two changes to their side that drew 2-2 with Manchester City two weeks ago.

Danny Welbeck and Yasin Ayari replace Diego Gomez and João Pedro for the Seagulls.
