0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Nottingham Forest FC launch into their encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.
5' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-1-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
9' Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was booked on 9.
10' Magnificent from Chris Wood! That is 89 goals in 347 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
12' A stunning finish from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde — that came from absolutely nowhere!
17' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Elliot Anderson suffering a number of foals already.
22' Toti Gomes has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 348 appearances.
27' Supporters expect more eagerness from Craig Dawson, as he is very good at scoring at City Ground, Nottingham with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
32' The referee calls foul for Joao Gomes. He receives a card.
37' It looks surprising Nottingham Forest FC does not make any changes. Nikola Milenkovic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
40' Nottingham Forest FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 40.
45' Toti Gomes is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
50' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
53' The referee calls foul for Mario Lemina. He receives a card.
57' Time for substitution for Nottingham Forest FC. Ibrahim Sangare is replaced by Ryan Yates.
60' Another substitution for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC to replace Joao Gomes by Tommy Doyle on 60 minute.
65' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
70' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
74' A tactical swap from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC — Goncalo Guedes on, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde off on 74 minutes.
75' Another change for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC made on 75 minute. Nelson Semedo leaves to be changed by Matt Doherty.
80' The crowd applauds Callum Hudson-Odoi as he leaves the pitch. Ramon Sosa steps in for Nottingham Forest FC.
85' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
86' A tactical swap from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC — Andre on, Jorgen Strand Larsen off on 86 minutes.
90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Elliot Anderson on 90 minutes.
90' Nottingham Forest FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Taiwo Awoniyi is hanging Elliot Anderson on the field on 90 minute.
