Nottingham Forest manager Dougie Freedman has made one change to the side which beat Reading last weekend to face Fulham this afternoon.

Following a return from injury, club captain Michael Mancienne starts with Jack Hobbs suspended following a red card against the Royals.

Meanwhile, Cottagers interim boss Peter Grant has made two changes to the team which last week drew at home to Preston North End, with Ben Pringle and Matt Smith coming in for Sean Kavanagh and Moussa Dembele.

Ross McCormack, who scored five goals in two appearances against Forest last season, also starts.

Nottingham Forest: De Vries; Lichaj, Mills, Mancienne, Pinillos; Mendes, Lansbury (c), Vaughan, Osborn; Oliveira, O'Grady

Fulham: Lewis; Fredericks, Stearman, Ream, Husband; Cairney, Parker, O'Hara, Pringle; McCormack, Smith
