Match preview

Nottingham Forest will be receiving a lot more respect after their stunning 4-1 FA Cup success over Leicester at the weekend and their impressive attack can contribute to an entertaining tussle at Championship promotion rivals Blackburn.

Steve Cooper's Forest have netted in six successive games and were able to dismantle Leicester despite the absence of injured 12-goal top scorer Lewis Grabban.

Rising star Brennan Johnson was among the Sunday scorers and his pace and power pose obvious threats to Blackburn, who have won just two of their last six league fixtures.

Rovers, meanwhile, should be boosted by Ben Brereton Diaz's return to the starting line-up.

He came off the bench during Saturday's 1-0 loss at Swansea having only recently returned from international duty, but he should feature from the start against Forest which will be a huge boost to Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray.
