Palace will be without the services of defender Mark Hudson for tomorrow’s trip to the City Ground.
The on-loan centre-back was sent off in the home game against Gillingham, and will only be available for selection again after Saturday’s game.
Hudson’s misfortune means the door is open for new signing Mikele Leigertwood to make his full debut for the Palace.
Neil Shipperley has completed his own suspension after sitting out last week's draw against Reading. The in-form striker is certain to take over from Dougie Freedman up front, despite the Doug’s goal against the Royals.
Ben Watson is also available for selection once more, having completed 90 minutes for the reserves in midweek. The midfielder is fit again following a groin operation, but this game is likely to come too soon.
Forest will be without striker Marlon King, but will welcome Michael Dawson back from suspension.
