Nottingham Forest host Malmo in the Europa League tonight. Get the team news here...
Nottingham Forest return to European action against Malmo tonight, off the back of a stunning result in the Premier League last weekend.
Sean Dyche’s side beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, and are now looking to take that momentum back to the Midlands as they look to build on a mixed Europa League start.
The Tricky Trees sit 23rd in the standings, a way off the automatic qualification places.
Their opponents, Malmo, are even further down, in 33rd, with just one point to their name. Both sides will be desperate for three points here as we begin the final stretch of fixtures in the initial league phase.
