Nottingham Forest confirmed lineup for tonight’s Carabao Cup clash with Leeds United at the City Ground.
Oliver Glasner has made several changes from the side that started Saturday’s Premier League opener, when Leeds left Nottingham with a 1-0 win thanks to Anton Stach’s late free-kick.
The Reds now have a chance to put that result behind them and book their place in the third round.
Nottingham Forest confirmed lineup vs Leeds United
Glasner has handed Ousmane Diomande his first Forest start after the summer signing was left on the bench against Leeds in the league. Jair Cunha comes into the back three alongside Milenkovic.
Matz Sels starts in goal, while Ola Aina keeps his place on the right side. Xaver Schlager gets his chance in midfield alongside Nicolas Dominguez, with Neco Williams starting on the left.
Further forward, Igor Jesus and Kalimuendo will play behind Chris Wood, who leads the Forest attack.
Nottingham Forest XI: Matz Sels; Ousmane Diomande, Jair Cunha, Milenkovic; Ola Aina, Xaver Schlager, Nicolas Dominguez, Neco Williams; Igor Jesus, Kalimuendo; Chris Wood.
Morgan Gibbs-White is unavailable after picking up an ankle and knee problem during Saturday’s match.
“Morgan Gibbs-White will miss tomorrow’s game. He got the ball and twisted his ankle, so the MCL was a little bit overstretched and he has some pain in his knee,” Oliver Glasner said.
Forest will now hope the changes bring a different result this time around. Leeds boss Daniel Farke has already pointed out that cup football carries a different pressure so the Premier League result on the weekend is history now.
