Nottingham Forest will be looking to build on three home wins on the bounce, with another maximum points haul against Blackburn.

Despite a challenging start for Aitor Karanka's side, they're still very much in touch with the early pace setters and could find themselves in the top six with a favourable result this weekend.

With such a rich array of attacking talent, it is hard to predict exactly which line up the Spaniard will go with. Will he draft in one of his numerous midfield acquisitions, or stick with the likes of Colback and Watson?

We think he'll go 4-2-3-1, which will give him an opportunity to experiment with the line up, but picking the XI is incredibly hard. After much deliberation, here's our choice for the Forest side this weekend.

It has to be the big Romanian in goal.

He was a good signing in the summer and he's kept two clean sheets in his last three matches,

The Saidy Janko move surprised many this window, he'd only just joined Porto and was seemingly set to battle over there.

He's settled quickly though and will make the squad this weekend.

One of last year's stand-out performers for QPR, Robinson has also settled well at Forest.

He's got Premier League quality and will look to push Forest towards the Holy Grail.

Another with Premier League quality, Hefele also knows what is needed to be a success at this level.

He should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

Fox has played 11 times this season and his place this weekend completes one of the few predictable areas of the field.

He forms part of a very tight back four, but is only one booking away from a ban.

The first of two holding midfielders, Colback is yet another player who has top flight experience.

He's settled well, although a partnership with Ben Watson hasn't emerged as many imagined. Still, the Newcastle player is almost certain to get a place in the side.

The Algerian is clever on the ball and a player whom Aitor Karanka knows well.

There's little surprise that he will start, his guile and creativity really help Forest and he's often the 'pass behind the assist' too.

He'll keep Watson out of the side this week.

Cash is a real success story at Forest and he'll form part of the three man bank behind the centre forward.

He's a former youth team product and a player with a significant future ahead of him.

If you pay £13m for a player, he has to play. He will win them games and he'll get his chance to show it once more.

He's improving as he settles in England and by the time we pass New year, he's going to be earning rave reviews.

Here's a player rejuvenated under the manager, claiming assists and very soon, goals too.

He'll play on the left of the three-man midfield, hoping to feed in the centre forward as well as feed off him.

Leading scorer in the Championship last season, Grabban has to start.

There's surely no debate to be had over him and Daryl Murphy. Surely?
