Fulham vs Nottingham Forest - Fulham could hand debuts to Christie and Mitrovic
Posted Friday, February 02, 2018 by PA
Fulham could hand debuts to Cyrus Christie and Aleksandar Mitrovic against Nottingham Forest.
The Cottagers signed right-back Christie from fellow Championship club Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee on dedline day.
Serbian striker Mitrovic was then a surprise arrival from Newcastle on loan until the summer.

A flurry of late transfer business before Wednesday’s deadline gives Forest boss Aitor Karanka a host of decisions to make.
A 3-0 home defeat to Preston could see Karanka shuffle his pack, with deadline day signings Ashkan Dejagah, Joe Lolley and the returning Adlene Guedioura all options – although a lack of football could mean the trio need time to get up to speed.
The east midlands outfit also recruited a quartet of loan signings with defender Tobias Figueiredo coming in from Sporting, Costel Pantilimon boosting the goalkeeping options from Watford, Lee Tomlin joining from Cardiff and Newcastle allowing Jack Colback to depart on a temporary deal.
Veteran striker Daryl Murphy has yet to feature in 2018 and faces another fitness test.
