Nottingham Forest V Sheffield Wednesday
Saturday 6 February
Championship
City Ground

Owls team news
Owls boss Alan Irvine will be forced into making at least one change from the side that beat Plymouth Argyle last week with Lewis Buxton suffering a hamstring injury.

The defender was replaced against the Pilgrims in the second half by Frank Simek and the USA full back is likely to start against Forest.

Francis Jeffers also sustained a hamstring strain against West Bromwich Albion in the midweek reserve team game and could miss out this weekend at the City Ground.

Otherwise, there are no further injury or suspension concerns for the Owls who will head to the City Ground looking to build on an impressive January.

Forest team News
Billy Davies may be tempted to change his side following their 1-0 defeat to Derby County last week.

Nathan Tyson was left out of the squad at Pride Park last Saturday but should return against the Owls.

Davies has no injury or suspension concerns as he bids to get his side back into the top two of the Championship.

Directions:
By car
Leave the M1 at Junction 26 and take the A610 towards Nottingham and then signs for Melton Mowbray. Cross the River Trent and you will see the ground on your left.

Alternatively as you approach Nottingham on the A610 you will pick up signs for 'football traffic'. Although following these seems to take you all round the outskirts of Nottingham you do eventually end up at the City Ground, along the A6011.

By train
The ground is a 20 minute walk from Nottingham railway station. As you come out of the main station entrance, turn left and then left again. Follow the road down to the dual carriageway and then turn right. The ground is about three quarters of a mile down the dual carriageway on the left, just over Trent Bridge.
