Nottingham Forest will look to cement their place in the Championship play-off places on Saturday afternoon, when they travel to Deepdale to face Preston North End.
Following their midweek defeat to Fulham, Sabri Lamouchi’s side are still not completely certain of a place in the top-six come the end of the season, and will be looking to take another step towards securing that place this afternoon.
Preston however, kept their play-off hopes alive on Wednesday with a 3-1 win at Sheffield Wednesday, and with Alex Neil’s side desperate to secure a chance of promotion for themselves, this will not be an easy task for Forest.

Preston

Perhaps with that in mind, Lamouchi has named a side that shows four changes from the one that lost to Fulham, with Carl Jenkinson, Craig Dawson, Ryan Yates and Nuno Da Costa replacing Matty Cash, Tobias Figueiredo, Tiago Silva and Joe Lolley, with Lolley and Cash absent from the matchday squad altogether.
