It’s been a difficult few weeks for Nottm Forest who had to come from two goals down at home to earn this replay with Blackpool and were then hit with the news that they have been charged with breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules. They could wind up on the wrong end of a points deduction. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo will not have found this ideal match preparation.
The Tricky Trees have not been in action since the 2-2 draw against Blackpool, while Neil Critchley’s side have since claimed back-to-back home victories against Burton Albion and Exeter City. The Tangerines have been particularly impressive at home all season and have won 9 of their last 10 at Bloomfield Road in all competitions.
Here's how they line up:
Blackpool XI: Grimshaw, Husband, Gabriel, Connolly, Ekpiteta, Morgan, Norburn, Lyons, Hamilton, Rhodes, Carey.
Subs: O'Donnell, Pennington, Casey, Dale, Oakley-Boothe, Virtue, Lavery, Joseph, Dembele.
Nottm Forest XI: Vlachodimos, Tavares, Murillo, Mangala, Omobamidele, Williams, Oliveira, Yates, Dominguez, Hudson-Odoi, Wood.
Subs: Turner, Worrall, Toffolo, McKenna, Montiel, McDonnell, Aguilera, Esaph Osong, Gardner.
