Exactly one year ago, Nottm Forest were humbled at the hands of Championship strugglers Blackpool. Then manager Steve Cooper made numerous changes to his team and paid the price as the Seasiders produced a thumping victory thanks to goals from Marvin Ekpiteta, Ian Poveda, CJ Hamilton and Jerry Yates.
That proved to be the highlight of a dire campaign as Blackpool were relegated and parted ways with manager Michael Appleton. Now with Neil Critchley back in charge, they currently sit eighth in League One and made the third round thanks to victories over Bromley and Forest Green.
There’s also been plenty of change at Forest with Cooper recently sacked and replaced with former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno Espírito Santo. The Portuguese manager has quickly made his mark on the team, with his more pragmatic approach leading to victories over Newcastle and Man Utd.
Line-ups:
Nottingham Forest XI: Vlachodimos; Worral, Gibbs-White, Wood, Hudson-Odoi, Toffolo, Dominguez, Yates, Danilo, Monteil, Murillo.
Subs: Turner, Nuno, Mangala, Williams, McKenna, Omobamidele, Aguilera, Osong, Gardner
Blackpool XI: Grimshaw, Connolly, Husband, Gabriel, Norburn, Morgan, Dembele, Rhodes, Casey, Hamilton, Lyons.
Subs: O'Donnell, Dale, Joseph, Carey, Dougall, Virtue, Ekpiteta, Thompson, Oakley-Boothe.
