It's Chris Richards who is offside in the first phase of play so it's a very late flag there.

The ball is loose in the Zrinjski box as they struggle to clear the Palace free-kick. It gets hooked back in and Ismaila Sarr slots home but the flag is quickly raised for offside.

Morgan Gibbs-White sends the Forest free-kick towards the far post but puts too much on it and it goes out of play.

Not great, but the positive news for Forest is that Elliot Anderson is OK.

The pattern of this game is very much set with Zrinjski in their back five and Palace looking to break them down.

Adam Wharton is seeing plenty of the ball and that is only a good thing for Palace.

Home captain Milan Skriniar is booked as he clatters into Callum Hudson-Odoi on the left side of the box.

There is a bit of a concern for Forest here because Elliot Anderson needs some medical treatment. He's been Forest's best player so far.

Borna Sosa's radar is off at the moment. He tries to whip a left-footed cross in but only finds touch.

Brennan Johnson sets Ismaila Sarr on his and he's quick!

He gets to the ball first but his effort from a tight angle is saved. Palace work is well to Adam Wharton on the edge of the box and he fires just over.

Seven minutes in and Forest have had 83% possession.

Lovely player is Adam Wharton. He links with Ismaila Sarr to the right of the box and looks to square it but Zrinjski cut it out.

Another corner for Forest with barely five minutes played. The delivery is headed on to the far side of the box but Omari Hutchinson's first-time effort is blocked.

But despite there only being one stand, the 6,000 fans inside are making themselves heard and I'm sure the 700 who have travelled from London are singing away too.

The boos and jeers ring out as Forest continue to dominate the early possession.

Omari Hutchinson, on his European debut, gets into space down the right and plays a fine ball to the back post but Elliot Anderson doesn't quite get the connection he hopes for there.

Borna Sosa shows intent from left-back as he drives through the pitch but he puts too much on his ball forward for Brennan Johnson.

It's a front-footed start for Palace.

Positive start by Forest as they win a corner with less than 50 seconds on the clock.

Elliot Anderson sends the ball in, it is half cleared before the home defence does a better job of getting ride of Anderson's next ball into the box.

The TV cameras are situated in the one stand, meaning that all we're seeing is a pitch surrounded by advertisement boards. Quite odd, it gives it a bit of a training ground feel.

We're getting under way in tonight's European action.

This stadium is quite something. It's only got one stand but that is absolutely packed with fans.

Plenty of players in the Fenerbahce side with Premier League experience with Ederson in goal and the likes of N'Golo Kanté, Mattéo Guendouzi and Nelson Semedo in the starting XI.

A draw would surely be a good result for Forest.

Out come the players.

I just don't think this group of players has ever got over Nuno [Espirito Santo]. I think they respected him, they understood that he got the best out of them last year, got them into Europe and I think their heads are still spinning.

As much as it is Ange [] to [Sean] Dyche to Vitor [Pereira], is very much like 'hang on a minute, we had the right guy.' Sometimes when an owner takes a decision like this where maybe he doesn't really have the full temperature of the training ground, of the dressing room and understands how much of a bond the players had with that coach and how much they believed they could turn it around, the problem is that Nuno is not available.

He's at West Ham now. So what do you do? You get someone who is sort of like him, he's Portuguese, he's represented by the same agent, Jorge Mendes, and he's done similar jobs in keeping teams up and I think this is the next best thing.

Nottingham Forest manager Vitor Pereira speaking to TNT Sports: "We have been working for two, three days but we have been working to have short communication, very clear and not change a lot. Today I hope that I see my team playing, pressing them with tactical organisation with freedom and confidence to express themselves.

On the team he has chosen: "A team with courage, tactical organisation, mentality to win and to face the team with the intention to win the game. It's not possible in three days to change a lot. It is better to keep more or less the same team. The system will be different but they will understand not too much things to change. I just want that they have references when we are defending, confidence when we have the ball and playing and enjoying the game."

"It's a pleasure to be in this competition and it will be a lot of noise and a lot of passion but we need to work in this kind of atmosphere. It is an opportunity that we have talent, quality and we are committed."
