Jonny Williams replaces Teddy Bishop in an otherwise unchanged Town side which is looking for their first win at Nottingham Forest since December 1999 this afternoon.
The on-loan Palace man made his second Town debut and scored having come on as a sub at Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday before making way late on with a minor groin problem.
Ex-Forest duo Luke Chambers and David McGoldrick start for the Blues, but Paul Anderson misses out on a place in the 18 due to the hamstring injury he suffered in training.
Forest: Darlow, Lichaj, Mancienne, Wilson, Hunt, Lansbury, Tesche, Antonio, Burke, Fryatt, Assombalonga. Subs: De Vries, Harding, Lascelles, Osborn, Grant, Paterson, Veldwijk.
Town: Gerken, Parr, Mings Chambers (c), Berra, Skuse , Hyam, Sammon, Williams, Murphy, McGoldrick. Subs: Bialkowski, Smith, Bru, Tabb, Henshall, Bishop, Bajner.
