5. Neco Williams - RB
With doubts around Serge Aurier’s availability, Williams did himself proud against Wolves on Saturday. Starting to show signs that the Premier League is where he belongs. With a great right foot, a screamer from 30 yards would also do nicely.
6. Remo Freuler - CM
Back in the starting XI following a successful international break with Switzerland. He looked refreshed and re-energised marshalling Forest’s defence and has a pivotal role at what will be an intimidating Elland Road atmosphere.
7. Orel Mangal - CM
Gave Forest some much needed energy and sharpness in midfield. Deserves his chance after some inconsistent playing time. Like Frueler, now would be a good time to get on the scoresheet for Forest.
8. Danilo - CM
Breakthrough performance on Saturday. Box-to-box presence and should have got on the scoresheet. With ten games to go, now is the time to trust and unleash the Brazilian talent and keep the momentum going.
