The Tricky Trees are still having to cope without injured duo Danilo (ankle) and Ibrahim Sangare (hamstring), while Hammers loanee James Ward-Prowse is ineligible to face his parent club.
Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed that Morgan Gibbs-White (ankle), Chris Wood (foot), Elliot Anderson and Jota Silva (both knock) are all doubtful and will be assessed ahead of kickoff.
The potential absence of top scorer Wood, who has netted seven times in nine league games this term, could see Taiwo Awoniyi handed a start up front, while Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi are set to continue on the flanks.
Nuno will hope that at least one of Gibbs-White or Anderson will recover in time to play alongside Ryan Yates and Nicolas Dominguez in centre-midfield, with one of the former two expected to operate in a more advanced role if fit.
A back four of Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo and Alex Moreno is set to remain intact, protecting goalkeeper Matz Sels who, along with Wood, has been nominated for October's Premier League Player of the Month award.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Dominguez; Elanga, Anderson, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
