Preview:Nottingham Forest vs. Oldham Athletic

Nott'm Forest vs. Oldham

Nottingham Forest take on Oldham Athletic in round three of the FA Cup on Saturday at the City Ground.

Championship side Forest, who have won the competition twice, last got past the third round in 2011.

Meanwhile, League One's Oldham have reached the semi-finals three times - the last occasion coming in 1994.

Sam Hutchinson and Marcus Tudgay are both unavailable for the home side, but David McGoldrick and Jonathan Greening could come into the starting lineup having completed loan spells with Coventry City and Barnsley respectively.

However, Matt Derbyshire is cup-tied after turning out for Oldham earlier in the tournament.

James Wesolowski is banned for the visitors, while Cristian Montano is sidelined with a thigh injury.
