Preview: Blackpool vs. Nottingham Forest

Plummeting Blackpool meet a rising Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night in a clash between two of the Championship's mid-table sides.

The home side have lost four of their last five league fixtures and have started slipping down the table after a very promising start to the season, most recently losing 1-0 to Burnley last time out.

Forest are currently unbeaten in three games, with two wins, and were impressive at the weekend by beating top-of-the-league Cardiff City 3-1.

Early performer Tom Ince has struggled for form recently but should keep his place in what is expected to be another attacking Ian Holloway lineup.

There will be little reason for Sean O'Driscoll to make many changes after their recent victory, except for the dismissal of Adlene Guedioura.
