Nottingham Forest have made three changes for their Europa League last-16 first-leg clash against Midtjylland. Nikola Milenkovic drops to the bench as Vitor Pereira switches from a back three to a back four, with Morato stepping into the defence. The tactical shift comes after last Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Man City.

In attack, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Omari Hutchinson start on the wings, flanking Igor Jesus. The changes see Ibrahim Sangare and Neco Williams relegated to the bench. Nicolas Dominguez and Morgan Gibbs-White will support Elliot Anderson in midfield.

The lineup adjustments suggest Pereira is prioritizing defensive stability for the European fixture. The back four formation marks a departure from Forest's recent setups and could signal a more cautious approach against Midtjylland.
