Nottingham Forest will be keen to return to winning ways in the Sky Bet Championship tonight, as the Reds prepare to take on Coventry City at the City Ground.

It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the Reds, who have failed to kick on since picking up a win in their first game under Chris Hughton's stewardship away at Blackburn Rovers.

Forest have since picked up three points from their last four games, and they will be keen to record back-to-back home wins this week to sign off in the best possible way before the international break.

Tonight, Forest take on Coventry City at the City Ground, with the Sky Blues bound to be full of confidence following their recent 3-2 victory over high-flying Reading.

Forest will have to be at their best, and Hughton is likely to make changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Middlesbrough at the weekend with two home games in quick succession in mind.

Here, we take a look at the side that Hughton should look to field against Coventry this evening...

Starting off in goal, and Brice Samba will start in-between the sticks barring any late injury concerns.

With Nicholas Ioannou still out suspended, Hughton also has a decision to make at left-back. Gaetan Bong started against Middlesbrough, whilst Yuri Ribeiro is now back to full fitness.

Given his importance last season, we think that Ribeiro should be handed only his third start of the season tonight, as he looks to impress and stake a claim for a regular place in the side.

Scott McKenna, Tobias Figueiredo and Cyrus Christie will complete the back-four, with Forest looking to keep a clean sheet for only the second time under Hughton.

Moving into midfield, and Hughton has been handed a boost with the news that Harry Arter is back fit and available after recovering from an ankle injury.

The midfielder is likely to come straight back into the team and partner Jack Colback in the middle of the park.

Moving forward, and there is likely to be one change out wide, with Joe Lolley likely to return to the side at the expense of Sammy Ameobi.

And, after making his full debut for Forest at the weekend, Miguel Angel Guerrero is likely to be taken out of the side, with Lyle Taylor set to start.

Lewis Grabban is out injured, too, with the striker set to miss the next two games due to a hip problem.
