Nottingham Forest captain Luke Chambers is suspended for the FA Cup third-round replay with East Midlands rivals Leicester at the King Power Stadium.

Chambers was shown a straight red card early in the second half of the league defeat to Southampton on Saturday when referee Eddie Ilderton decided that the centre-half had led with his arm in an aerial challenge with Saints striker David Connolly. He begins a three-match ban.

With Wes Morgan struggling to recover from an ankle injury and Brendan Moloney still nursing a knee problem, midfielder Guy Moussi could once again be asked to drop back into the heart of defence alongside Joel Lynch.

Should Forest win they will face League Two promotion contenders Swindon at the City Ground in the fourth round on January 28.
