Premier League Nottingham Forest head to the seaside to face League One Blackpool in an FA Cup third-round replay.

New Forest boss Nuno Espírito Santo shuffled his pack for the initial meeting at the City Ground earlier this month, but that nearly backfired as the Tangerines raced into a two-goal lead before Nicolás Domínguez and Morgan Gibbs-White hit back to force a second meeting.

In the aftermath, Santo called for FA replays to be scrapped as this fixture interrupts their winter break, while his squad options for the trip to Bloomfield Road are limited, as six players are at the Africa Cup of Nations and another four are in the treatment room.

Blackpool are in flying form, and warmed up for Forest’s visit with a 2-0 league win at home to Exeter courtesy of Albie Morgan’s double last Saturday – making it four games unbeaten.

An away trip to Premier League outfit West Ham United or Championship club Bristol City awaits the winners in the fourth round later this month.
