Nuno Espirito Santo ‘relieved’ as Nottingham Forest survive FA Cup scare - Neco Williams’ spot-kick secured a home tie against Ipswich Town in round five.

On preparing for the challenge of facing a side lower down the pyramid, Nuno said: "We have to get ready for that [big atmosphere with fans close to the pitch]. In these game it is important to try and to find simplicity and solve the problems in a simple way. Our talent and quality will show I hope."

Nottingham Forest may not have got the striker they were after in the winter transfer window but head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is still confident in the squad he has at his disposal. The priority for the Reds before last Monday’s deadline was to retain their key players. They managed to do that but were unable to strengthen their forward ranks.

Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has named his Nottingham Forest team to face Exeter City in tonight’s FA Cup tie.

The great news for footy fans in the UK is that free-to-air broadcasters the BBC and ITV are sharing live duties for this season's FA Cup, with this game being shown on ITV4. That means the game will be available to stream on ITVX. Coverage begins at 7:30 p.m. GMT ahead of the 8 p.m. kickoff.
