Cardiff striker Kenneth Zohore is again ruled out after having minor foot surgery. But Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock expects Zohore - who has not played since mid-October - to be back within the next fortnight after having scar tissue removed from his heel.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing could return after limping out of the defeat to Bristol City and missing subsequent wins over Brentford and Barnsley. Omar Bogle completes a three-match ban as long-term absentees Jazz Richards and Kadeem Harris edge closer to full fitness.

About Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest Football Club is a professional football club in West Bridgford, England, which plays in the Championship, the second tier of English football, having been promoted from League One in 2008. The club, often referred to as Forest, have played home matches at the City Ground since 1898.

Founded in 1865, Forest were founder members of the Football Alliance in 1889 and joined the Football League in 1892. Since then, they have mostly competed in the top two League tiers, bar five seasons in the third tier. Forest won the FA Cup in 1898 and 1959. Their most successful period was under the management of Brian Clough between 1975 and 1993, winning the League in 1978 and back to back European Cups in the two years after, plus four League Cups and two Full Members Cups.

Since 1898 Nottingham Forest have played their home games at the City Ground in West Bridgford, on the banks of the River Trent. Since 1994 the stadium has been all-seater, a preparation that was made in time for the ground to be a venue for Euro 96, and currently has a capacity of 30,445.

The City Ground is 300 yards away from Notts County's Meadow Lane stadium, on the other side of the Trent. The two grounds are the closest professional football stadia in England and the second closest in the United Kingdom after the grounds of Dundee and Dundee United. When built, the ground was within the boundaries of Nottingham, which had been made a city the previous year and gave rise to the name of the stadium. A boundary change in the 1950s meant that the City Ground is now no longer within the city of Nottingham whilst Notts County's ground is.

Prior to moving into the City Ground, Forest played their home games at Forest Recreation Ground, then Trent Bridge, and finally the purpose-built Town Ground.

Thanks I will change now

Seen talk on here of sales being slow, any idea how many we are taking? My guess will be around 800 in the end sadly if that

Nottingham Forest are looking to keep four clean sheets in a row at City Ground... for first time in SEVEN years!

Nottingham Forest on fire

Forest have won their last four games at home, and are aiming for four clean sheets in succession at the City Ground for the first time in seven years. The last team to score there were Sheffield United, three minutes shy of six hours of football ago.

Warnock vs Forest fans


NEIL WARNOCK:

"I have friends who are season ticket holders at the City Ground, they’re looking forward to it, they think they’ve turned the corner from last year and they have."

"I just hope they’re disappointed on Sunday night. But you haven’t got too long to dwell on it because we’ve got a game Friday."

"That’s the Championship, it’s very intense."

"There’s no easy games in this league - but it won’t be easy for them either, that’s how I look at it."

Hope so Annis. The team deserve our support. 2nd in the league who would have thought it. I think we have the best manager in the league and a set of players that dig in week in week out.

Sam, they do without a doubt and it should be 1,5000, but I very doubt it.

The ref is Peter Banes.

He refereed us away at Sunderland this season plus away at Forest when he sent off Marshall but we won.

Hope he is not taking in by any diving from that nasty piece of work Jamie Ward.

Got to keep an eye that Everton loanee Dowell from who looks decent plus that winger NW tried to buy, Mackay.

Got a few mates interested to come up with me but none of them are memebers. Can they pay to get in on the door with out membership anyone know??

You still have a chance to phone for tickets tomorrow and pick up the tickets from the ground. The stewards will have them on them.

Im driving up with my 10 year old.lad.and two friends. Looking forward to it shame we are not taking 2000 plus which we should be. Think 1100 to 1300 of us will go.

Unfortunately not... I am driving to Nottingham this morning from NW Wales! i read somewhere on this thread that because we wouldnt sell our allocation there would pay on the gate. Never mind my own fau!t.But I'll phone the City office this morning to see if there are any options.

Forest 0-1 City

Another hard game solitary goal from Sean Morrison will keep us in 2nd!!
