Football League World's George Harbey will be live at Ewood Park tomorrow afternoon as Blackburn Rovers prepare to take on Nottingham Forest.

It has been a contrasting start to the season for these two sides, with Blackburn fighting at the right end of the table in the early stages of the campaign.

Rovers have picked up seven points from their first four league games, and are currently the highest-scoring side in the division having netted 11 times in the Championship thus far.

Forest, meanwhile, have endured a disappointing start to the season, but fans will be optimistic following the recent managerial appointment of Chris Hughton.

Hughton replaced Sabri Lamouchi at the helm last week with the Reds losing their first four games of the season, and the 61-year-old will be keen to get his tenure off to a winning start this weekend.

Hughton will have had a good look at his squad in his first full week in charge, with the experienced boss undoubtedly building assessments of his new group of players during the international break.

There has been a mixed big of injury news for Forest heading into this clash, as Hughton goes about fielding his first line-up in charge of the Reds.

Tyler Blackett has joined Fouad Bachirou and Joe Worrall on the sidelines, with the latter out for around two months due to a foot injury.

Harry Arter and Scott McKenna are both available for selection, though, having both withdrew from international duty with Republic of Ireland and Scotland respectively after picking up knocks.

Tony Mowbray, meanwhile, is likely to name an unchanged team to the side that were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Cardiff City last time out, with no new injury concerns for the Rovers boss.

Forest, who have conceded seven goals already this season, will have to be wary of Blackburn's obvious attacking threat. Adam Armstrong is their leading goalscorer, with five goals to his name already.

Forest have only managed to score one league goal thus far with Luke Freeman firing in from 25 yards in a 2-1 defeat to Bristol City last time out, but Hughton will be keen to address that as soon as possible.

Both sides will like to get on the ball and create plenty of chances, with both teams accruing an average possession rate of 52.4% so far this season, hinting at an exciting battle between two good footballing sides.

Blackburn are the obvious favourites heading into this one, but Forest will be keen to start afresh under a new managerial regime, and will be hungry to put things right this weekend.
