Lineups, team news, confirmed starting teams in FA Cup

Nottingham Forest host Ipswich Town in an all-Premier League final tie of the 2024/25 FA Cup fifth round on Monday (7.30pm GMT).

Home boss Nuno Espirito Santo and Tractor Boys counterpart Kieran McKenna could be tempted to make changes, with Forest competing for European qualification and Ipswich five points from safety.

The winners of the tie will make a trip in the quarter-finals on the weekend of March 29 to top-flight side Brighton & Hove Albion, who won at Newcastle on Sunday.

Nottingham Forest lineup vs Ipswich Town

Santo sees the cup as a chance to give game time to some of his fringe players, so top scorer Chris Wood, midfielders Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson and Nicolas Dominguez and defenders Nikola Milenkovic and Neco Williams make way.

Goalkeeper Matz Sels, defenders Ola Aina and Murillo and attackers Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi are the players remaining in the starting line-up from the 0-0 draw at home to Arsenal in the Premier League last Wednesday.

Goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, who is yet to play for Forest since signing from Brazilian club Corinthians for £3.4 million in July, remains out with a thigh injury.

Nottingham Forest starting XI: Sels, Aina, Morato, Murillo, Alex Moreno, Yates, Danilo, Hudson-Odoi, Sangare, Elanga, Awoniyi

Subs: Williams, Anderson, Gibbs-White, Wood, Dominguez, Silva, Sosa, Boly

Ipswich lineup vs Nottingham Forest

Goalkeeper Christian Walton, midfielder Kalvin Phillips and attackers Omari Hutchinson, Wes Burns and Chiedozie Ogbene are out injured for Ipswich.

Alex Palmer remains in goal from the 3-2 defeat at Manchester United on Wednesday, with defender Axel Tuanzebe and midfielder Sam Morsy the two other players to keep their places.

On-loan Brighton forward Julio Enciso has a knee injury and would have been cup-tied.
