Vitor Pereira makes six changes as Nottingham Forest look to avoid a major upset against Fenerbahce.

Leading 3-0 from the first leg Morato, Jair Cunha, Nicolas Dominguez, James McAtee, Ryan Yates and Lorenzo Lucca all come in.

Morgan Gibbs-White, Igor Jesus and Callum Hudson-Odoi are on the bench if Pereira needs reinforcements.

Nottingham Forest XI: Ortega, Morato, Murillo, Jair Cunha, Williams, Anderson, Dominguez, Hutchinson, McAtee, Yates, Lucca.

Subs: Gunn, Willows, Sangare, Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Ndoye, Igor Jesus,, Bakwa, Milenkovic, Aina, Abbott.

Fenerbahce can only name seven substitutes amid an injury crisis.

Ex-Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson is out, along with former Leicester defender Caglar Soyuncu and centre back Jayden Oosterwolde.

It means ex-Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi drops into defence while Leicester and Chelsea title winner N’Golo Kante starts.

Fenerbahce XI: Cetin, Muldur, Guendouzi, Demir, Brown, Aydin, Yuksek, Kante, Nene, Cherif, Akturkoglu.

Subs: Biterge, Ceylan, Asensio, Mercan, Semedo, Ekici, Uregen.
