Forest to Secure First Win in Four?

Nottingham Forest are having a remarkable season in the Premier League. The Reds have been the surprise package, spending most of the campaign in the top four. UEFA Champions League qualification is a real possibility for Nuno Espirito Santo and his men.

Ipswich’s long-awaited return to the Premier League has been a struggle. Town occupy a place in the bottom three as we enter the business end of the season, taking just 17 points from a possible 81.

Forest were pushed hard by EFL League One outfit Exeter City in the previous round. The third-tier team took the Premier League club to penalties, but the Reds held their nerve to secure a 4-2 shootout victory.

Kieran McKenna’s troops have picked up two comfortable cup wins so far. After a 3-0 triumph over Bristol Rovers at Portman Road, Ipswich thumped Frank Lampard’s Coventry City 4-1 at the CBS Arena in round four.

When the sides met at the City Ground in the Premier League a few months ago, Nottingham Forest ran out narrow winners. Chris Wood’s penalty just after half time was enough for Nuno’s side.

These two have been regular opponents in the English Football League over the years, with November’s match being the first top-flight meeting since 1994. The last FA Cup game was in 1997, with Forest winning 3-0 at the City Ground.
