Nottingham Forest can extend their 100% home record in the league this season if they beat struggling Middlesbrough at the City Ground on Wednesday.

Billy Davies's side got back to winning ways by coming through a five-goal match against Barnsley in the Championship on Saturday.

Despite his match-winner, Darius Henderson will probably have to settle for a place on the bench again, with Simon Cox in line for a start.

Visiting Boro did take the lead at Ipswich Town at the weekend but slumped to a 3-1 defeat to make it four games without a win.

Kei Kamara may be chosen to start and freshen up Tony Mowbray's side but it's likely that the same XI that fell to Ipswich will start.

When these two met last season, just one goal was scored in the two games, and that came from Mustapha Carayol in the last game back in April.
