Nottingham Forest will look to get back to winning ways this weekend with a home clash against Queens Park Rangers.

The Reds are winless in their last two league games - they succumbed to a disappointing 1-0 loss to Preston in their last match at the City Ground and were held to a goalless draw against bitter rivals Derby County on Monday night, so will be looking to reclaim a spot in the play-off places with a win against the R's this weekend.

It won't be too straightforward for the Reds, however - Steve McClaren's men will be confident of defeating yet another promotion candidate in Forest this weekend, after an impressive 2-1 home win against Middlesbrough last weekend - the West London club currently sit 13th in the Championship table, five points off the play-off places.

With the Reds in search of yet another three points, here, we take a look at the Nottingham Forest XI that Karanka needs to play against QPR on Saturday afternoon...

Pantilimon is back to his best after a shaky season at times this term and will definitely keep his place in the team this weekend.

Darikwa has been a very impressive figure at right-back for Forest this season and is another player who will look to keep his place in the team.

Tobias Figueiredo is available again after a three-game ban with suspension and should come back in to replace Michael Hefele.

Danny Fox was a fan favourite in the stands at Derby on Monday night, but Karanka is hopeful that he will be available after closing in on a return from foot injury.

Robinson was fantastic at centre-half against Derby, but could be put back into his favoured left-back role on Saturday.

Colback was absolutely fantastic for Forest on Monday night and was undeniably their star man. He'll keep his place in the team this week.

It seems that Forest have finally solved the midfield conundrum - Yacob was a fantastic partner to Colback in the middle of the park on Monday night and could be the ideal partner going forward.

Forest will need this man if they are to secure three points this weekend. He was so close to adding another goal to his tally on Monday night after rattling the crossbar and will look to score against the R's.

Carvalho is coming into his own after his multi-million pound move in the summer from Benfica. He will be key in Forest's push for promotion this term.

Osborn was another standout performer for Forest on Monday night - his best position is definitely in midfield.

The most obvious shout.

Grabban is the league's top goalscorer and will look to add another goal to his tally for the season this weekend.
