Nottingham Forest v Coventry City live as Glasner chases back-to-back wins | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest host Coventry City at 5.30pm, seeking back-to-back Premier League wins in their final game before the international break. Live coverage will bring team news and action from the City Ground.

The Reds beat Aston Villa 2-1 last weekend, their first victory of the campaign and the first under head coach Oliver Glasner. Liam Delap opened his account and Igor Jesus came off the bench to net the winner.

Jesus may have given Glasner something to ponder over his starting XI. The head coach could also weigh up defensive options after Ousmane Diomande impressed on his first league start and Ola Aina adapted well amid late injury withdrawals.

According to Nottingham Post, Frank Lampard said Coventry had Delap on their radar this summer but were unable to sign him. Delap joined Forest from Chelsea for a club record £45 million last month, having emerged at Derby County’s academy.

Today is the first match since Forest secured approval for City Ground redevelopment plans earlier this week. The long-term aim is to raise capacity to 52,000 and the Rushcliffe Borough Council decision was viewed as a landmark to meet demand while remaining at the City Ground.

Dan Ndoye left Villa Park bloodied after a blow to the face, requiring cotton wool in both nostrils. Glasner said the winger looked like he had been through 12 rounds, yet praised him for relentless running and creativity in the win.
