Starting XI Revealed Nottingham Forest: Victor, The defender, Milenkovic, Murillo, Morato, Yates, Sangare, Dominguez, McAtee, The winger, Kalimuendo. Malmö: The goalkeeper, Stryger Larsen, The center-back, Duric, The full-back, Haksabanovic, Johnsen, The midfielder, The attacker, Gudjohnsen, The striker. Referee: Harm Osmers (German) Starting Players The Light Blues: Butland, Tavernier, Fernandez, Djiga, The full-back, Barron, Diomande, Raskin, Gassama, Danilo, Chermiti. The Arsenalistas: Hornicek, Gomez, The center-back, Niakate, The full-back, Zalazar, Joao Moutinho, The midfielder, Martinez, Navarro, Horta. Official: Lindhout (from Netherlands) Match Background The European clash and historical connections. The two clubs have a special connection, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the continental championship from 1979 that connects these teams, with Britain's first £1m player Francis heading the only goal of a rather dull championship game to clinch eternal glory for the the English club. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the revelry," wrote the match reporter. Theirs has been an remarkable feat that it is hard to see being repeated – from the lower league to continental competition in a short period." One should note to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Scandinavian side to advance to the ultimate game under manager Houghton. The current fixture is a far cry from that summit, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are full of confidence after thrashing Liverpool at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since last month following the completion of Allsvenskan. The smart money is on the Forest tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. The Glasgow club have already been defeated by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the competition table at the midpoint of the initial phase with no points whatsoever. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a playoff spot. We'll keep you up to date with all the evening matches and provide the latest scores from the previous games, including the Birmingham match and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
