Hungarian outfit Ferencvaros are the visitors to the City Ground (8pm) for the first meeting between the two sides. It has been something of a mixed bag in Europe for the Reds so far but the all-important knockout stages are just around the corner.

There is still plenty to be decided before then, in the final round of league phase fixtures.

Below is a look at the permutations for Forest:

After seven games, Sean Dyche's team are 16th in the table with 11 points. Their record to date reads won three (Porto, Malmo, Utrecht), drawn two (Real Betis, Sturm Graz) and lost two (Midtjylland and Braga).

They are guaranteed to make it out of the league phase at least, so their European run is not over yet. However, what happens next is still uncertain.

Following last week's 1-0 loss to Braga in Portugal, Forest's chances of finishing in the top eight and progressing straight through to the round of 16 are slim, to say the least. They need to beat Ferencvaros but then also require other results to go their way.
