The EFL Championship is in full swing and will continue this week, with Nottingham Forest hosting Sheffield United at the City Ground on Tuesday.
Steve Cooper's reign as Nottingham Forest manager suffered its first setback when they lost 4-0 to Fulham last week. Nottingham Forest then played a 1-1 draw against QPR at the weekend, meaning they have now gone back-to-back games without a win.
Nottingham Forest sit 18th in the league with 18 points from 15 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways on Tuesday as they look to continue their ascent up the table.
