Nottingham Forest will be looking to protect a 3-0 first-leg advantage against Fenerbahce tonight.
The Europa League round of 16 awaits Vitor Pereira following last weekend’s stunning victory, and tonight is all about finishing the job.
Goals from Murillo, Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White ensured a comfortable first-leg victory, and the team must be confident of reaching the next knockout stage pretty comfortably.
Forest fans will pack the City Ground tonight to hopefully see the team complete the job, and here is the rotated team that we fancy will cause an injury-stricken Fenerbahce problems.

Nottingham Forest XI that could prevail vs Fenerbahce
Stefan Ortega will play between the posts after being added to the Europa League squad at the expense of Matz Sels, who has a groin problem
He did well in the first leg and on Sunday against Liverpool and playing him into some form could be ideal.
Murillo might be the man to come out of the defence tonight ahead of Sunday’s huge game against Brighton.
Nikola Milenkovic, Ola Aina and Neco Williams could keep their place for continuity purposes, with Morato slotting in for an outing alongside the Serbian.

Would you welcome this Nottingham Forest team vs Fenerbahce?
What changes would you make?
Both midfielders from Pereira’s first two games could change, with Nicolas Dominguez and Ryan Yates both coming in for a rare start.
Dan Ndoye could play out on the left as he looks for a second Europa League goal of the campaign, with James McAtee getting a game in the number 10.
Lorenzo Lucca could get the nod to start up top with Omari Hutchinson keeping his place on the right to provide the aerial ammunition for the big man.
