05: A high tempo set by both sides during the opening minutes. Lansbury the first to ask a question of either defence, delivering a dangerous cross from the right, but Upson is equal to the delivery with a defensive header.
01: Game underway at The City Ground.
TEAM NEWS
Albion boss Gus Poyet makes two changes to the side that beat Crystal Palace 3-0 two weeks ago, as Liam Bridcutt and Tomasz Kuszczak miss out due to illness.
That means a first league start of the season for Casper Ankergren. The Danish goalkeeper has featured twice in the FA Cup this year.
Andrew Crofts returns to the starting line-up in place of Bridcutt, while Adam El-Abd serves the final match of a two-game after accumulating ten yellow cards this season.
Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies makes just one change to the side that beat Hull City 2-1 on their last outing and it’s former Albion loanee Gonzalo Jara Reyes who misses out.
The Chilean right-back drops to the bench making way for Sam Hutchinson.
