Check out all you need to know ahead of Nottingham Forest's clash with Cardiff City in the match preview, in association with Football Index.
Nottingham Forest are back in action on Tuesday night as they travel to South Wales to take on Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium (kick-off 7.45pm).
The Reds will be looking to return to winning ways having gone three games without a victory and secure their first win on the road since the victory over Brentford.
Sabri Lamouchi's men kept a clean sheet in the draw against QPR on the weekend, and he will be hoping for a similarly tight rearguard against The Bluebirds.
Neil Harris's side have been resurgent in recent weeks, with a seven-game unbeaten league run coming to an end on the weekend against Stoke City, and they will be hoping to keep up their form with a late run for the play-offs.
Team news
There are question marks over the fitness of Samba Sow (knee), Sammy Ameobi (hip) and Lewis Grabban (knee), while Nuno da Costa (adductor) continues to be absent through injury.

From the opposition
Cardiff manager Neil Harris was extremely disappointed with his side's defeat against Stoke City on the weekend and wants to see a reaction from his side against Forest.
He said: “We have to make sure that this game was a one-off. When you play again so soon, especially against a team just above you in the division, it’s important to put things right. It will be a great game against Forest.
“If we’re serious about the play-offs we have to beat the teams around us. With two huge games in four days next week, it’s a huge chance for us. I’m looking forward to Tuesday night, and seeing how my team responds.”
