Sky Bet Championship, 3pm Saturday

Forest snapped their losing sequence with a 5-2 win at QPR last week but Birmingham have lost their last four in the league to leave them third-bottom and two points from safety.

Aitor Karanka has kept the same Forest starting line-up who beat QPR, with striker Daryl Murphy making the bench after recovering from a bout of illness.

Birmingham have midfielder Maikel Kieftenbeld back after his two-game ban but look set for another defeat.
