Nottingham Forest host Middlesbrough in matchday seven of the Sky Bet Championship this evening.
Forest come into this one with the pressure intensifying on manager Chris Hughton, having picked up only one point from their first six games.
The Reds’ 2-1 defeat to Cardiff City on Sunday was their fifth of the campaign already, therefore it looks like a must-win game for the manager.
Middlesbrough, meanwhile, come into this clash having gone winless in their last four games, picking up only win so far this season.
