He [Amorim] is not going to change the way he plays. He better win some games - pretty quick. I reckon if I went there and played my way, we'd win more games. Just 4-4-2 - give them basic rules of principles. We're all going, 'Fair play' - but, he's been there a while now so you better start bringing some wins soon.

Nottingham Forest's Ola Aina (hamstring) and Dilane Bakwa (unspecified) remain sidelined with injuries, while Chris Wood (knee) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (groin) will both be assessed ahead of kickoff. Ruben Amorim hopes to have Harry Maguire available after the defender missed the Brighton win with a minor issue, though Lisandro Martínez remains sidelined with a knee injury. If Maguire returns, Leny Yoro could drop out, joining Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw in a back three.

It's not an easy one. We've done quite a bit of analysis on them, and they've had a great start in their league and in this competition, and they're a good outfit. We have respect for them, of course, but we're looking for the energy. I spoke to the players about the edge and belief they showed last year. I remember watching the team go around the country and take everyone on, which is great when everyone is pulling in the same direction.

NottinghamForest have acted swiftly to replace AngePostecoglou after a short and unsuccessful stint as head coach. According to TBR Football, the club are already in talks with SeanDyche, with discussions progressing rapidly and an initial deal being proposed for the former Burnley and Everton boss. The move shows just how urgent Forest's managerial crisis has become. Nottingham Forest are under crisis this season Forest have already sacked two managers this season.

I didn't speak with Ange. I didn't see him but just said I feel very sorry for him. But we said many times this is a business where if you don't win games, the consequence for all of us is exactly the same. So, sorry for him.
