Nottingham Forest Team News
Matz Sels is in goal with a back line of Murillo, Neco Williams, Milenkovic, and Aleksandr Zinchenko. Elliot Anderson partners Douglas Luiz in midfield with Dan Ndoye. Morgan Gibbs-White, and Callum Hudson-Odoi are supporting Igor Jesus.
Notable Changes
An immediate move from a back five to what looks like a back four with a 4-2-3-1 setup. Ndoye interestingly gets the nod with Hudson-Odoi also finding his way back to the starting mix after finding it tough to break in to Ange Postecoglou’s 5-3-2.
Porto Team News
Diogo Costa starts with Alberto Costam, Jakub Kiwior, Jan Bednarek, and Francisco Moura in the back line. Victori Froholdt, Alan Varela, and Pablo Rosario make up the midfield trio with Samu leading the line. Pepe and Borja Sainz occupy the wings.
Notable Changes
Only one change from the eleven who started against Benfica as Gabri Veiga misses out for Rosario. The 4-3-3 shape remains.
