Nottingham Forest vs. Wolves team news: Under-pressure Sean Dyche, Rob Edwards make key decisions ahead of City Ground showdown

Nottingham Forest, Wolves teams confirmed! How many changes do under-pressure Dyche, Edwards make?

Nottingham Forest head coach Sean Dyche has made three changes for Wednesday's Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Speculation persists that Dyche may be under pressure if he does not move Forest away from the relegation zone, a target not aided by Friday's 3-1 defeat at Leeds United.

However, Dyche has opted to only mildly-tinker with his side after that setback, with Lorenzo Lucca a notable inclusion in attack for his first start after netting a consolation goal at Elland Road.

Omari Hutchinson is included on the flank, while Neco Williams returns after serving a one-match suspension.

Zach Abbott, Nicolas Dominguez and Igor Jesus are the trio to drop out of the starting lineup.

Wolves make two changes for Forest game

Meanwhile, Rob Edwards has decided to make just the two changes to his team for the trip to the City Ground.

Hwang Hee-chan was known to be missing out as a result of the injury that he sustained in the 3-1 defeat to Chelsea.

Matt Doherty has also dropped out with Edwards, as expected, reverting back to a 3-4-2-1 formation.

Ladislav Krecji is named on the left-hand side of the back three, while Rodrigo Gomes is introduced at right wing-back.

However, no risks have been taken on the fitness of Andre, resulting in Angel Gomes retaining his place in central midfield.

Nottingham Forest XI: Ortega; Williams, Milenkovic, Morato, Aina; Sangare, Anderson; Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Lucca

Subs: Gunn, Awoniyi, Ndoye, Dominguez, I.Jesus, Yates, J. Cunha, McAtee, Netz

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa; Mosquera, S. Bueno, Krejci; R. Gomes, J. Gomes, A. Gomes, H. Bueno; Mane, Armstrong; Arokodare

Subs: Johnstone, Doherty, Moller Wolfe, Lima, Bellegarde, Tchatchoua, Sutherland, Rawlings, Edozie
