Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo might give consideration to another formation change for Wednesday's Premier League visit of Arsenal to the City Ground.
The hosts have a near fully-fit squad for the clash with Mikel Arteta's side, as only goalkeeper Carlos Miguel (hamstring) is definitely missing through injury, although he did say at his pre-game press conference that some unnamed players were carrying knocks.
The Tricky Trees boss reverted to a tried-and-tested 4-2-3-1 shape against Newcastle United, but the Garibaldi conceded a staggering four times in the space of 11 minutes in that 4-3 defeat.
The day before, Arsenal were toothless against a five-man West Ham United defence in their 1-0 loss, so Santo might look to copy Graham Potter's example, especially after his side's defensive capitulation in the North East.
Morato would be the beneficiary of such a switch, lining up alongside Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo ahead of Matz Sels, who had a rare off day at St James' Park.
Expect Ola Aina and Neco Williams to function as the wing-backs if Santo does indeed go for a 3-4-3 or a 5-4-1, while Ryan Yates might displace Nicolas Dominguez in the centre of the park alongside Elliot Anderson.
Anthony Elanga would likely be the sacrifice for an extra defender, as Callum Hudson-Odoi's fine opener at the weekend should be enough to see him reprise his attacking role alongside Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:
Sels; Milenkovic, Murillo, Morato; Aina, Anderson, Yates, Williams; Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
