    Nottingham Forest will look to continue their climb clear of trouble by extending their three-match unbeaten run when Doncaster visit The City Ground tomorrow (kick-off 7.45pm).

    The Reds are currently fifth from bottom in the Championship table, four points clear of the drop zone.

    Steve Cotterill's men followed up back-to-back wins over Coventry and Birmingham with an excellent away day point at Barnsley on Saturday.

    And with the visit of rock-bottom Doncaster followed by another home date against Millwall on Saturday, they will be looking to put further distance between themselves and trouble.

    Doncaster secured a home point against Brighton on Saturday, thanks to a late penalty from El-Hadji Diouf.

    But Dean Saunders' men are five points adrift of safety and have recorded only two away wins this season.

    Team News
    Steve Cotterill will check on club captain Luke Chambers and key midfielder Guy Moussi before naming his side.

    The pair missed the weekend trip to Barnsley and although their problems are minor niggles, it's not clear whether they will be available for the visit of Doncaster.

    Danny Higginbotham, who also missed the Barnsley game with a hamstring injury picked up a week earlier against Birmingham, is unlikely to be ready to return.

    The Reds will again be without Ishmael Miller, Marlon Harewood, Matt Derbyshire, David McGoldrick and Radi Majewski.

    Doncaster look set to be without their key midfielder Brian Stock after he limped out of the game against Brighton with a groin problem.

    Where they finished last season:
    Forest - 6th
    Doncaster - 21st

    Where they currently stand:
    Forest - 20th
    Doncaster - 24th

    Connections
    Forest's first team coach Sean O'Driscoll spent five years in charge of Doncaster before his losing his job at The Keepmoat Stadium earlier this season.

    O'Driscoll guided Doncaster to promotion to the Championship in 2007-08 - his first full season as boss.

    He then set about consolidating Rovers' Championship credentials but was relieved of his duties in September after a sluggish start to the season.

    O'Driscoll joined the Forest coaching staff in January, renewing acquaintances with his former Bournemouth team-mate Steve Cotterill in the process.

    Dean Saunders

    Ironically, the man who replaced him at the Doncaster helm, Dean Saunders, lists Forest among his former clubs as a player. Terry Curran, Tommy Gaynor, Tony Woodcock, Dennis Peacock and Gareth Taylor are among the other men to have served both clubs as players.

    Down The Years
    Forest wins over Doncaster: 19 (15 League; 3 League Cup; 1 FA Cup)
    Doncaster wins over Forest: 8 (7 League; 1 FA Cup)
    Draws: 9 (9 League)

    A rare Chris Gunter goal earned Forest victory over Doncaster earlier this season - their first ever win at The Keepmoat Stadium at the fifth time of asking.

    The Welsh international settled the contest with the only goal of the game and only the second of his career.

    Gunter, who had been switched to left back from his more accustomed right back role for the game in South Yorkshire, headed home late in the first half from a pinpoint Brendan Moloney cross.

    The game marked the first appearances in Forest colours of new boys Matt Derbyshire and Ishmael Miller.

    Derbyshire started the game - and had appeals for a penalty waved away just moments before Gunter's opener after he had gone down under a challenge from Sam Hird - and Miller had a run-out as a substitute.

    Wes Morgan also went close to scoring, while Lee Camp made good saves to deny James Coppinger and Simon Gillett to frustrate Doncaster.
