Aitor Karanka’s Nottingham Forest will face Hull City in the FA Cup this afternoon.
Nottingham Forest will return to action this afternoon when they take on Hull City away from home at the KCOM Stadium in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Forest will head into the tie against Championship rivals Hull on the back of a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers away from home at the Molineux Stadium in the league.
The Reds’ recent performances and results have been encouraging, and manager Aitor Karanka will be looking to win against the Tigers.
Hull are having a terrible season in the Championship and are actually in danger of getting relegated to League One at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.
Nigel Adkins’s side are level on points with third-from-bottom Sunderland in 21st place.
The Tigers will probably not be too concerned about the FA Cup, and that could give Championship rivals Forest an edge.
Former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp has backed Forest to win against Hull and progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup this season.
Redknapp said on the Sky Sports Daily show on Sky Sports News on Friday morning (11:31am, January 26, 2018) while predicting a 1-0 win for Forest: “I have gone with a Nottingham Forest win.
“New manager, they had a great result last week against Wolves as well, obviously beaten Arsenal in the cup. Hull are struggling. So I have gone with Nottingham Forest to keep up that good run of form.”
