Midtjylland will return to haunt Nottingham Forest, a reminder of the chaos which has enveloped the season. Their 3-2 win at the City Ground in the Europa League group phase damaged the Australian beyond repair, with Forest fans chanting "sacked in the morning" just three weeks into his reign. Current boss, the fourth of the season, Vitor Pereira made six changes as Forest edged past Fenerbahce on Thursday, losing 2-1 at the City Ground to progress 4-2 on aggregate in the play-off round. Pereira sidestepped a question about whether the Premier League is the priority over the Europa League but survival is paramount for Forest. After the first leg against Midtjylland at the City Ground they host Fulham before travelling to Tottenham following the away leg a week later.
