Nott'm Forest v Brighton Brighton are again without on-loan Matt Richards, who has returned to Ipswich for treatment on his hamstring injury, while Andrew Whing is still suspended. Kerry Mayo again deputises for Richards at left-back, while Gary Hart continues at right-back in place of Whing.
Forest will be without James Perch who starts a suspension. Nathan Tyson should be fit to play in attack after playing 81 minutes against Northampton while midfield playmaker Kris Commons is pushing for a start.
Two sides in relatively good form here or at least proving very difficult to beat: Forest, one defeat in six (and a fine win at Northampton on Saturday who were on a great run), two in the last ten - Brighton, two losses in six (one of which came at the league's best home side, Carlisle) and also just the two defeats in ten. Yes, it's all looking rather tight here so the 5.00 on offer for Brighton at Skybet looks a little generous. Nottingham Forest rarely lose at home though (most recently to a Carlisle side in terrific form although Forest apparently dominated without managing to take their chances) and Brighton certainly lose more on their travels than they win. So where does that leave us? It's a toughy and Forest may well edge it but Brighton are capable of making it difficult:
Brighton X2 @ 2.00 Bet365 and under 2.5 goals @ 1.79 Betfair
A couple of other X2 chances standing out for me but as usual I'm pushed for time! So, very quickly, Oldham, Leyton Orient and Crewe look worth a shot to avoid defeat. And Carlisle will probably continue on their fine run but too short for me against a mighty tough Northampton side.
