Preview: Nottingham Forest vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Nottingham Forest vs. Wolves

Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies will be hopeful of a fifth successive win when Wolverhampton Wanderers arrive at the City Ground on Saturday.

The East Midlands side have been in tremendous form since Davies returned to the club, picking up maximum points from their last four games.

The former Derby County boss may make changes to the side that recorded a 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town in midweek.

Lewis McGugan could replace Henri Lansbury in midfield, while Sam Hutchinson could start in place of Gonzalo Jara in defence.

Wolves boss Dean Saunders would have been relieved to have secured his first victory as the club's manager when they defeated Millwall in midweek.

That result took the Molineux outfit out of the Championship relegation zone, but the former Doncaster man will know that his side need to pick up another result at Forest.

Saunders is likely to name the same team that started at The Den on Tuesday night.
