Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion name their starting lineups for Saturday's Premier League game.

Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion have named their starting lineups for Saturday's Premier League game at the City Ground.

On the back of last weekend's 5-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth, Nuno Espirito Santo had decisions to make regarding potential changes.

The inclusion of defender Morato suggests that Nuno has switched to a back three with Ola Aina and Neco Williams being used as wing-backs.

There is also a surprise start for Danilo in central midfield, the Brazilian making his first start since recovering from a broken ankle that was sustained in August.

Ryan Yates and Jota Silva are the players to drop down to the substitutes' bench, with Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga continuing to offer support to Chris Wood in attack.

How many changes have Brighton made?

Meanwhile, Fabian Hurzeler has named a somewhat unusual Brighton side with 19-year-old Jack Hinshelwood the only recognised central midfielder.

The Seagulls may seemingly line up with a 4-1-4-1 formation with four creative players being deployed in support of Danny Welbeck.

Carlos Baleba, Yasin Ayari and Brajan Gruda have all dropped out of the side, while Kaoru Mitoma and Evan Ferguson each feature in the squad amid speculation regarding their future.

Nottingham Forest XI: Sels; Aina, Morato, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Danilo, Anderson; Gibbs-White, Wood, Elanga

Subs: Miguel, Sangare, Awoniyi, Dominguez, Moreno, Jota, Yates, Sosa, Boly

Brighton & Hove Albion XI: Verburggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Lamptey; Hinshelwood; Minteh, Rutter, Pedro, Mitoma; Welbeck

Subs: Rushworth, Webster, Gruda, Adingra, Gomez, Ferguson, O'Riley, McConville, Knight
