It seems that neither team will take the match seriously.

Nottingham Forest's Gaetan Bong has been hit with a three-game ban by the FA after an incident with Callum O'Hare during Sunday's match against Coventry City.

But he wasn’t at all on the match plan for today. Head coach Chris Hughton had already planned to use an alternative XI in order to preserve the key players for the match against Bournemouth in EFL Championship.

For example, new goalkeeper Ethan Horvath will make his Nottingham Forest debut today. The 26-year-old American player signed a three-year deal after making the move as a free agent from Club Brugge. He is of course a valid player and he will try to prove that tonight.

It is not thinkable that Nottingham Forest will want to lose the chance of getting qualified for the next round, after their defeat at the season’s opening against Coventry City. Chris Hughton will hope to find some new ideas and suggestions from the alternative players.

Bradford will use an alternative XI too, but composed by youngsters. There is a big gap between reserves of a Championship club and youngsters from lower divisions.

The odds aren’t very good. But it’s normal in cup games.

Let’s back Nottingham Forest.

看上去，两支球队都不会认真对待这场比赛。

诺丁汉森林的盖坦-邦在周日对考文垂的比赛中侵犯对方球员卡勒姆-奥黑尔，被英足总禁赛三场。

但他根本就不在今天的比赛计划中。 主教练克里斯-休顿早已计划使用一个替代阵容，以保留关键球员，准备英冠联赛对阵伯恩茅斯的比赛。

例如，新门将霍瓦特将在今天首次亮相诺丁汉森林。 这位26岁的美国球在以自由球员身份从布鲁日俱乐部转会过来，签署了一份为期三年的合同。 他当然是一个有用的球员，他将在今晚努力证明这一点。

诺丁汉森林在本赛季对考文垂的开幕战中失利后，不可能想失去获得下一轮资格的机会。 克里斯-休顿希望能从备选球员中找到一些新的想法和建议。

布拉德福德也将使用一个替代阵容，但由小孩组成。英冠的替补和低级别联赛的小孩之间有很大的差距。

数据不是太好。 但这在杯赛中是很正常的。

让我们支持诺丁汉森林。
