In Championship action this week, Nottingham Forest will host Queens Park Rangers (QPR) at the City Ground on Wednesday night.

Nottingham Forest are enjoying a good spell at the moment. They carried out a 4-0 demolition of Reading in their last game, thanks to goals from Ryan Yates, Sam Surridge and a brace from Aston Villa loanee Keinan Davis.

The visitors sit fourth in the Championship standings with 59 points from 36 games.
