    James McAtee runs towards the box from the right before clipping a low ball into the box but it is too close to the goalkeeper.

    I think the referee got that one right. It would have been a lot easier for everyone if Morgan Gibbs-White puts that ball in the back of the net.

    Sturm Graz 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    A frustrating couple of minutes for Nottingham Forest but they are looking to regroup and try and get a goal before the break.

    You can see what it meant to Morgan Gibbs-White. The pressure he was under, but the goalkeeper guesses right. It was comfortable for the keeper.

    Morgan Gibbs-White's spot kick is saved!

    What an opportunity for Nottingham Forest to take the lead but it takes a while before Gibbs-White can take the penalty and with plenty of boos from the home fans perhaps the pressure told and it was an easy save really.

    We have seen enough of these during the week in the Champions League.

    It is Neco Williams, again. The hand is rather high. I do think it's in a natural position for the defender.

    Neco Williams' cross hits the raised hand of Emanuel Aiwu inside the box and Forest have a penalty!

    The chance has certainly buoyed the home fans and they have ramped up the noise considerably.

    Has that chance unsettled Nottingham Forest a bit? It has become a little scrappy in the last few minutes.

    That man again, Otar Kiteishvili. We said he was a decent player, but a tad offside [for Maurice Malone]. Kiteishvili likes to come onto his right foot of his.

  12. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 26 mins

    Sturm Graz 0-0 Nottingham Forest

    Some relief for Nottingham Forest as Maurice Malone taps in after John Victor pushed away Otar Kiteishvili's shot but the flag is up for offside.

    VAR checks it and are happy with the on field decision.

    Nottingham Forest are growing more confident in their passing and are putting together some nice passage of plays. It does feel like a matter of time before they take the lead.

    Aston Villa v Maccabi Tel Aviv (20:00 GMT)

    The threat of disturbance saw shops and schools around the Villa Park area close early on Thursday.

    Officers were deployed to the city centre by 13:30pm, amid reports of some protesters arriving early.

    Police are using Section 60 powers in an area stretching from Aston and Perry Barr to Birmingham New Street and the city centre, which started at midday and will run until 03:00 on Friday, in order to control any disturbances.

    A rare attack down the right by the hosts but Jacob Peter Hodl can't get past Morata, as the ball deflects off Hodl and out for a Forest throw.

    The last time Forest played Sturm Graz was on 7th March 1984. I was the Forest mascot on the day (present for my 10th birthday). We won 1-0, I’m going for same score again, although we should be two up already.

    He's in the mood tonight, Neco Williams. He is determined to get crosses into that box.

    Sean Dyche will realise that every time they put a ball in the box it's a Forest head getting on the end of it.

    Nottingham Forest attack once again down the left as the ball is worked to Neco Williams. He puts two crosses into the box but both are cleared.

    Great opportunity and it is well-worked. Nikola Milenkovic at the far post and Ryan Yates rises highest and somehow it is cleared off the line.

    Off the line!

    A deep Nottingham Forest corner is headed back into the middle of the box by Nikola Milenkovic to Ryan Yates, whose header is cleared under his own crossbar by Arjan Malić.
