Nottingham Forest return to action on Saturday after the two-week international break by hosting Millwall at The City Ground in a Kids for a Quid fixture (kick-off 3pm).
The Reds, who are unbeaten in three npower Championship games, will go in search of their first win of the new campaign against a Millwall side who have made an impressive start.
The newly-promoted Lions, play-off winners last term, have won five of their opening six league and cup games - their only blip being a 3-1 defeat at Leeds.
Team news:
Paul Anderson, who picked up a knee injury in Forest's last outing against Norwich, hopes to get the green light to figure in Billy Davies' plans.
Chris Gunter completes his three-match suspension this weekend, which means Luke Chambers will almost certainly continue to deputise at right back.
Garath McCleary (knee) and striker David McGoldrick remain unavailable, although the latter is now regarded as only a month away from resuming his playing career after close season shoulder surgery.
Millwall will be without long-term injury victims Tony Craig and Shaun Batt but are not reporting any fresh fitness worries.

Past meetings:
Second half goals from Julian Bennett and Luke Chambers earned Forest a 2-0 win in their last meeting with Millwall, at The City Ground in February 2008.
That game marked the Reds debut of Will Hoskins, the Nottingham-born striker who had joined the club on loan from Watford.
He came close to opening his goal account after just two minutes when he raced clear of the Millwall Millwall defence but saw his shot saved by goalkeeper Rhys Evans.
That was the only real chance of the first half but Forest only had to wait until two minutes after the break before breaking the deadlock.
Kris Commons swung over a corner and Julian Bennett was on hand to head home his third goal of the season.
Commons also played a part in our second goal - in the 58th minute - as his corner was only partially cleared by Millwall and Chambers pounced to take his tally for the campaign to six.
The Reds were on their way to a second-placed finish in League One that season and a return to the Championship, while Millwall finished back in 17th spot.
The two sides have met 53 times in league and cup football and it's the men from London who boast the better record with 20 wins compared to Forest's 17.
Connections:
The Millwall squad on Saturday will include two men with Forest connections: Neil Harris, who had a largely unsuccessful spell at The City Ground, and James Henry, who was briefly on loan with The Reds.
Two darlings of The City Ground from the 1990s moved to Nottingham from Millwall, Teddy Sheringham and Colin Cooper.
Sheringham blazed a goal-scoring trail in just over a year with Forest, while Cooper was a central defensive mainstay for five years.
He joined Forest from Millwall for £2.5million in 1993 as Frank Clark set about assembling a squad capable of clinching promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt.
Cooper played a considerable part as that ambition was achieved and was also a key figure as Clark's men finished third in their first season back in the top flight and, the following campaign, reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup.
Along the way, he won two England caps and became an enormously popular figure with Forest's supporters.
He made more than 200 appearances for Forest before rejoining his first club Middlesbrough in 1998 in another £2.5million deal and until earlier this year was a member of the backroom staff at The Riverside Stadium.
Saturday's game is a Kids for a Quid fixture, entitling youngsters aged under 16 to purchase tickets for just £1.
Tickets are available in person at the Forest Ticket Office, on-line at nffcretail.com or by calling 0871 226 1980* (* calls are charged at 10p per minute, mobile rates may vary).
