Season defining game this. We've got to start getting results away from home to ensure we're in the playoffs.
Can we? Yes.
City to win 2-1


Nottingham Forest striker Lewis Grabban is unlikely to selected for Saturday's game despite responding well to treatment on his Achilles.

Manager Martin O'Neill said the striker had another injection on the tendon and is continuing his rehabilitation.

Hull City are likely to have defenders Jordy de Wijs and ex-Forest defender Eric Lichaj available, despite being withdrawn in the Birmingham game.

Midfielder Daniel Batty is out with a back injury.

Notts Forrest are the only team in the football league to be named after a heavily wooded area.

They've never won a major trophy. - Other than a couple of European Cups and League titles and Cups and stuff.

Nottingham Forrest contain no letters in it's name that you can colour in. - except some Os. And some other vowels. Edit: And a g.

A curse was put on their ground by gypsies which meant they've never won a home game until it was lifted by a soothsayer. They then went on a winning streak that only ended when they were beaten.
