Nottingham Forest team news vs Brighton confirmed as Vitor Pereira makes seven changes | OneFootball

Vitor Pereira has confirmed his Nottingham Forest line-up to face Brighton this afternoon, making seven changes from midweek. Goalkeeper Matz Sels returns from injury, while Stefan Ortega misses out with a calf problem sustained against Fenerbahce.

According to Nottingham Post, Nikola Milenkovic, Ola Aina, Ibrahim Sangare, Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Igor Jesus come in for Jair Cunha, Morato, Ryan Yates, James McAtee, Nicolas Dominguez and Lorenzo Lucca.

Sels starts behind a defence of Neco Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo and Aina. Sangare partners Elliot Anderson in midfield. Omari Hutchinson joins Gibbs-White and Hudson-Odoi to support centre-forward Jesus.

The bench features Angus Gunn, Taiwo Awoniyi, Dan Ndoye, Dominguez, Yates, Jair, McAtee, Netz and Bakwa.

Forest turn focus back to the league after confirming a Europa League last-16 place, losing 2-1 at the City Ground to Fenerbahce but advancing 4-2 on aggregate after a 3-0 win in Istanbul. The 17th-placed Reds were edged 1-0 by Liverpool in their first league match under Pereira. A similar performance could be needed to extend their two-point cushion over the bottom three.
