Dougie Freedman has made two changes to the Nottingham Forest side that drew away to Bolton Wanderers last week, with Chris Burke and David Vaughan coming in for Henri Lansbury and Ben Osborn.
Defender Matt Mills, signed from Bolton earlier this summer, captains Forest in the absence of midfielder Lansbury.
Meanwhile, Russell Slade has named an unchanged side to the Cardiff City team which beat Wolverhampton Wanderers this week as Kenwyne Jones and Joe Mason continue up front.
David Marshall continues in goal for the Bluebirds, despite West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis voicing his hopes of signing the Scotland international before the end of the transfer window.
