Nottingham Forest face a tricky trip to Fulham this afternoon as they venture into London for the second time in a matter of days.

Midweek saw the Reds come away from Charlton with a hard earned point as they continued their decent start under Sabri Lamouch, but they will be well aware the threat posed from Scott Parker's men is something completely different.

Lamouch will be hoping for a boost to his squad too in the form of a return for Joe Lolley, with early team news from BBC Sport suggesting that the key attacking midfielder could be set for a return to the XI after missing out through injury at The Valley.

Lolley has been a key cog in the Forest starting XI for the last few seasons now and is seen as vital to the way they play, with his goals and assists contributions something few other players in the Reds squad can offer.

Team news also suggests that winger Albert Adomah - who got on the scoresheet in midweek - could be in line for a start if Lamouchi decides to reward him for his showing at the Valley.

Forest have started well enough under Lamouchi and have five points on the board. A win at Fulham would no doubt send a big message to the rest of the league that the Reds could well be in line for a run at the top six.
