The 25-year-old midfielder, who has excelled for Nuno Espirito Santo's side this term delivered the sort of performance that will certainly give the new Three Lions boss food for thought over the coming weeks and months.
Always available to receive the ball, Gibbs-White was constantly looking to make things happen for Forest and appeared to have time and space whenever it found him.
The run and the timing of his pass to allow Jota Silva to score Forest's fourth underlined his class on a day when others, like Elliot Anderson and Callum Hudson-Odoi, also made a case for international inclusion.
Anderson's industry in the heart of midfield and his simple but effective pass to set Anthony Elanga away for Forest's second goal, laid the platform for their impressive victory.
Meanwhile, Hudson-Odoi did not give the ball away with any of his 23 passes and offered a different kind of threat to the raw pace of Elanga on the opposite flank.

"Ipswich were always going to react. It was important for us to get the fourth goal after they scored to really put the game to bed. They have character and are intense. It was tough."
On Anthony Elanga scoring twice for the first time in the Premier League: "The first time? He has to do it again. He was huge for us today. Not only the goals he got but also his defensive tasks. He was always in the game.
On the Forest fans: "They have been huge for us. The help and support at the City Ground, and away from home I am delighted they can go back home happy."

I feel like some people don't believe that I am a lifelong Nottingham Forest fan, because I do support about eight other teams too, but there are photos of me as a kid in a new bright red Forest kit at Christmas one year, playing on a little snooker table that my parents had bought me.
So, this is a big game for Bruce and myself. He says the first game he went to at Portman Road in the mid-80s was against Brian Clough's Forest.
Ipswich won 1-0 and his abiding memory is of walking out of Portman Road afterwards and seeing the Forest team bus with Clough, in his green jumper, sitting in the front seat with a face like thunder.
The Tractor Boys desperately need a repeat of that result but I just can't see it happening.
Ipswich pushed Forest all the way in the FA Cup a couple of weeks ago, only losing on penalties, but both teams made changes for that game and I am not sure it will have too much bearing on what happens here.
It feels like it is now or never for Kieran McKenna's side in their fight to stay up, but I have been saying that for a while now and they still haven't won a league game this year.
Forest were impressive when they beat Manchester City last week and, when I think about their attacking players, I am convinced they are going to score enough to win this.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Here are some of your comments:
Steve: Forest will continue to do what they've done for most of the games so far, defend well and catch teams on the break.
Elliot: Consistency, 'tough' games done, fully fit squad. This is our time.
Mossy: Best defence in the Premier League.
Stuart: Great business, great recruitment, great morals and an incredible work rate.
Rod: They are playing as one team.
Don: Because their 'never-say-die' attitude deserves it.
Rachel: Pinch me as I think I'm dreaming, with a Champions League place and beating Manchester City and Liverpool... just brilliant.
But not everyone was convinced..
Jared: Forest have the momentum to finish in Europe yes but you have to question their consistency in form.
Nigel: They won't. Forest's brand isn't strong enough to satisfy the advertisers and sponsors.
David: It is far too early to start talking about qualifying for the Champions League.
Image source, Getty ImagesEighteen-year-old Forest centre-back Zach Abbott says he is enjoying learning from "one of the best defences in the Premier League".
The England Under-19 international made his senior debut for Forest in a Carabao Cup tie against Grimsby in 2022 but has began training full-time with the first team in the past year.
"For anyone it's a massive step," he told BBC Radio Nottingham's David Jackson. "You go to the back of the pecking order really and that's a really good challenge.
"You need to be confident in yourself, do the right things at the right time and get involved with everything you can. I'm learning off what is now a top-three Premier League team so it's really good for me to learn from one of the best defences in the Premier League.
"You see what they do and what I can do differently. I want to pick things up from people and magpie different things from different players."
Abbott appeared for Forest in the Carabao Cup second-round defeat on penalties to Newcastle last August and was in the squad for the Premier League win at Everton in December.
"It's been a really progressive year, I think I've learned a lot of really useful information, a lot of good tactics, and I just want to keep pushing on.
"There are world cup players there and that's where I want to be in the future. They also know I need to make my own way and do things myself so I like to learn from own mistakes as well. They know that because they have been there too. It's really good around the place."

Image source, Getty ImagesEngland Under-21s midfielder Elliot Anderson "wouldn't have believed" Nottingham Forest would be third in the table with 10 games to go, with a chance to be playing Champions League football next season.
"Everyone is enjoying the moment and we have a right good group, who are all pushing in the same direction, which is the key to our success", Anderson - who has contributed five assists and a goal in 27 Premier League appearances - tells BBC Sport presenter Darren Fletcher.
"We as players all see the talk that we won't keep it up but ultimately it goes back to the fundamentals and what we have built it on, which is the basics. If we just focus on each game, and do what we set out to do, we'll be OK.
When asked about achieving a Champions League spot, he said: "It would be incredible.
"Not just for the club but for the city, where it could help in all sorts of ways. I think it would be a huge historic moment for the club and for the players who have been working hard all season to pull it off.
"It will be an amazing season but first we have to win on Saturday to try and do it".
Forest travel to Ipswich on Saturday and sit four points behind second place Arsenal.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Ipswich at Portman Road (15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Nuno confirmed he has a fully fit squad to choose from aside from goalkeeper Carlos Miguel: "It's very good, it gives us options, solutions and having everyone available is just nice to see. There is nobody in the doctors. It's a nice position to be in."
On two clean sheets against Arsenal and Manchester City: "We did really well against difficult opponents. One of our main focuses is to keep a clean sheet because it keeps us in the game and always gives our talented players a chance to score. That's our priority and nothing changes."
He spoke highly about Morgan Gibbs-White before Friday's England squad announcement: "It is one of the big things that Morgan has been giving us, not only his incredible performances on the pitch but he is always ready to help his team-mates - his leadership, he is one of the captains. So, regarding the squad, let's wait and see what Thomas [Tuchel] does."
On Callum Hudson-Odoi's form: "A lot of aspects in his game have been improving. I think he's versatile on both wings, he's adaptable and has been really performing well. His defensive tasks are always there. There are still a lot of things he can do better in terms of assists and goals, they are always numbers to improve."
On match preparation as we approach the season's climax: "We don't have to change anything and approach the game the same we have been doing all season - trying to get as much details and prepare ourselves to compete against tough teams. Everything is going to be decided now, and all teams will be ready to go and we have to be ready to compete against Ipswich."
On focusing after last weekend's win over City: "It's finished. We start a new cycle. It was a great job by the players against City but we have to transport and improve for Ipswich. Be solid, be compact, be competitive."

Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich have not won any of their past 14 Premier League games against sides in the top three of the table since a 1-0 win against Liverpool at Anfield in January 1995 (D2 L12). Those 12 defeats in that run have come by an aggregate score of 40-3.
Ipswich are the only side in England's top four tiers without a league win so far in 2025 - their longest run without a league victory from the start of a calendar year in their history.
This will be Nuno Espirito Santo's 50th Premier League game in charge of Nottingham Forest. He has won 21 of his 49 so far, with only Brian Clough (27) and Frank Clark (25) winning more of their first 50 top-flight games in charge of Forest.
Ten games to go and we need your positivity.
It is looking likely the Premier League will be awarded an extra Champions League spot for the 2025-26 season, so finishing fifth will mean a seat at Europe's top table.
We want you to tell us, in just one sentence, why Nottingham Forest will qualify for the Champions League
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked you what one thing no-one is talking about at Forest but really should be.
Here are some of your comments:
Matt: I think more praise should be given to Neco Williams. He completely nullified Mohamed Salah back in January and his work rate every match is incredible. There' are so many standout players for Forest this season - just want to make sure they all get the plaudits!
Renzel: Williams is performing at an outrageous standard, and while he is starting to get recognition from the Forest faithful, he isn't getting the plaudits he deserves from the press/media.
Mark: Need a new contract sorting as soon as possible for Ola Aina. Arguably the best full-back in the Premier League this season.
Neil: Strength in depth - or lack of - is the major concern for us. It's been a brilliant season but we have been lucky to keep our best players fit for most of this season. On the occasions they were not ,then our replacements have not been up to the required standard at this level. That needs addressing in the summer. Investment needed for potential Champions League campaign!
Geoff: It is no accident that Forest are doing so well. Compared with other teams we have had fewer long term injuries and that is no accident either. Few hamstring injuries, compared with others highlights the quality of the conditioning team and fitness programme. Long may it continue?
Matt S: Great leadership as every player understands and repeats the message - one game at a time and stay humble. Fabulous owner and fabulous recruitment.
Nottingham Forest's magical season just keeps getting better and better.
Saturday's win against Manchester City strengthen Forest's position in the race to qualify for the Champions League, while Nuno's side are also through to the last eight of the FA Cup.
And there is no doubt plenty more going on that you know far more about than we do.
So tell us, what's one thing - good or bad - that no-one is talking about at Forest but really should be?
Image source, Getty ImagesEx-Nottingham Forest captain and manager Stuart Pearce, speaking to Talksport about the supportive messages from his former club following his health scare earlier in the week:
"It was incredibly humbling. It was really nice to hear Nuno's message as well and that I am part of their family and my history with the club dictates that.
"Fantastically humbling, it really was, but it's what I expect from that football club - they're incredible."
On his health and recovery: "I had a virus that just sort of attached itself to my heart that just needed clearing, rebooting and going through the process I think.
"When I get home I obviously will have some medical checks there and go and see my GP and one or two other things, I'm sure.
"But I feel brilliant in myself and have done since mid-last week to be honest with you, but I'm in really good hands."
