Nuno Espirito Santo, the head coach, has selected his Nottingham Forest squad to play Exeter City in the FA Cup match tonight.
Liverpool is currently the top-ranked team in the competition after their loss to Championship Plymouth Argyle on Sunday. They are keen to maintain it that way and prevent themselves from suffering an upset at St. James Park in the fourth round.
Forest is aware that a victory would force them to play Ipswich Town at home in the following round. Nuno, however, has cautioned that the Grecians should not be taken lightly, using the Premier League leaders’ predicament as a warning of what may occur in the cup.
In tonight’s match, the Reds head coach promised to “reward” players who haven’t seen much action with minutes, just like he did against Luton Town in the previous round. With Danilo being the only player to retain his spot, he has made ten changes to the starting lineup from the 7-0 thrashing of Brighton & Hove Albion. The cup goalie has been named Carlos Miguel. The back line of Alex Moreno, Willy Boly, Harry Toffolo, and Eric da Silva Moreira will be in front of the Brazilian. It will be Ibrahim Sangare’s first start since he recovered from a hamstring injury. Ryan Yates will be his midfield partner.
