Sports Mole previews the mid-table Championship contest between Nottingham Forest and Burnley.

Nottingham Forest and Burnley head into this weekend's mid-table Championship showdown hoping to move towards the right end of the division.

The hosts are looking to end a run of two consecutive defeats and get their promotion campaign back on track.

Manager Sean O'Driscoll has been given a quadruple fitness boost ahead of the game, with Radoslaw Majewski, Greg Halford, Daniel Ayala and Simon Cox all on the mend, but unlikely to start the match.

Burnley are without the injured defender Ben Mee, whose absence paves the way for either Joseph Mills or Danny Lafferty to break into the first team.
