Matty Cash tries to head the ball back to Brice Samba, but overcooks it and it goes behind for a Millwall corner.

Ben Watson scampers into a tackle, doesn't quite make it but then wins back possession on the second attempt. It sets Forest on the attack and they look to get Joe Lolley on the ball.

Lolley eventually manages to find Joao Carvalho who tries a clever backheel and then has a toepoke at goal when the ball breaks back to him.

The Portuguese looks sharp.

A decent start from Millwall who retain possession and then get the ball forward quickly to Matt Smith on a couple of occasions.

The second venture forward ends with Mahlon Romeo having a shot blocked after a smart ball inside from Jed Wallace.

Away we go at the City Ground after the normal pre-match huddles.

Millwall get us under way.

As ever, we want to hear from you this evening.

Can Forest win automatic promotion or are the play-offs the best they can hope for? Can Millwall join them in the top six.

Rights restrictions mean we're unable to bring you online radio commentary of this evening's match.

However, if you're in and around the Nottinghamshire and London areas then why not also tune in to BBC local radio and listen to the action as well as following our updates.

The teams are out. There's no pre-match handshakes because of the fear of the spread of coronavirus.

If Millwall's play-off aspirations are not going to turn to ash, manpower up front seems to be the key issue.

The Lions have mustered just 41 goals in 36 Championship games this season. Only 10-goal top scorer Jed Wallace (pictured) has reached double figures.

Strikers Tom Bradshaw and Matt Smith have eight in the league apiece, but the fourth top scorer is centre-back Shaun Hutchinson, who has five.

Since Gary Rowett took over in October the Lions have climbed from 17th in the Championship table, with just a five-point safety net to the relegation zone - to 10th and 13 points clear of the bottom three. They are looking up not down.

They have only conceded 40 and it's a generally more happy part of south London with a less direct style of football than was seen under Neil Harris.

But to get in the top six, the goals for column surely needs a bit of a boost?

Forest have hardly been prolific in front of goal with just 48 league goals so far, but in Lewis Grabban they have a striker who they dare not lose to injury in the run-in.

Joe Lolley has been matchwinner, matchsaver and a crowd favourite all season, and plenty have contributed to the Forest cause.

However, Grabban's role is much more than just the 17 goals in 33 Championship starts.

His hold-up play and intelligent running off the ball has provided a focal point for Lolley and co to feed off. Can Grabban maintain his good form and take Forest to the Premier League?

Millwall make two changes from the side that drew with Bristol City last weekend and there's a big call up front.

Boss Gary Rowett brings in Mason Bennett, another former Derby man, to partner Matt Smith, while Shane Ferguson also starts for the Lions. Connor Mahoney and Tom Bradshaw drop to the bench.

Millwall Bialkowski, Romeo, M Wallace, Hutchinson, Cooper, Molumby, Woods, J Wallace, Smith, Bennett.

Subs: Sandford, Pearce, Williams, Mahoney, O'Brien, Bradshaw, Bodvarsson.

Nottingham Forest make just the one change from the 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough on Monday night, with playmaker Joao Carvalho getting the chance to shine in the number 10 role.

The Portuguese comes in for Ryan Yates in midfield, just his ninth Championship start of the season, so Alfa Semedo will play in a deeper role.

Forest: Samba, Cash, Figueiredo, Worrall, Ribeiro, Watson, Semedo, Carvalho, Ameobi, Lolley, Grabban.

Subs: Muric,Dawson, Jenkinson, Bostock, Yates, Diakhaby, Walker.

Let's take a look at the teams...

Millwall have always embraced their role as party poopers. Manager Gary Rowett has the chance to take that to a whole new level tonight. Peak party pooping.

The former Derby player and boss has the play-offs on his mind for the Lions.

But no matter what he may say, being a former Ram means he has taken some merciless grief from Forest fans over the years and he would absolutely love (channel your inner Kevin Keegan here) to oversee a win which would take Millwall to within two points of the top six and damage the home side's automatic hopes.

The Lions are winless in three. Victory would be wonderful on many levels for Rowett and Millwall and put them just two points off a play-off place.

The best news from a Nottingham Forest perspective is surely that the wild and unpredictable aura surrounding the club and the previous era seems to have passed. The owners stay in the background and the team is settled.

Head coach Sabri Lamouchi has brought a level of consistency and calm not seen around the City Ground for years. Passionate and tactically astute, and not prone to overreaction after a defeat, it's just what Forest needed.

Whisper it quietly, but the belief in their man means Reds supporters are thinking this could be the year.

A win tonight and Forest go level on points with third-placed Fulham, just six points adrift of leaders West Brom and five behind second-placed Leeds United.

Automatic promotion would still be a real possibility and the Championship play-offs would seem a highly likely consolation prize.

Good evening. It's been a gloriously, cheerful day in Nottingham. Cold and crisp, but clear skies and some very pleasant sunshine through most of the day. There's the weather before the sport, in a break from tradition...

Forest and Millwall provide your footballing entertainment tonight. It's hardly a leap of faith to describe this as a game where promotion is on the minds of both teams.

The Reds remain very much in the race for the top two. The Lions are well within reach of the play-offs.
