    There just seemed to be so many bodies in there before it got to Kalimuendo.

    I think it would have been hard to squeeze that in.

    It should be 2-0. Callum Hidson-Odoi's corner is flicked on to Arnaud Kalimuendo, who hits the outside of the post from near the byeline.

    Utrecht haven't won a game in Europe since the first iPhone was created - and don't think that run is going to end today. Forest well on top now.

    Sean Dyche has made the difference for Nottingham Forest. He has made them better all over the pitch.

    Forest into the top eight as things stand - although half the teams are yet to play.

    Brilliant. He has had hardly any service.

    That was all about him. That's another goal and he has got to keep building. He hasn't had a lot of minutes but in the Europa League he has his chance to show.

    He did really well then.

    That is the first European goal Forest have scored from open play under Sean Dyche.

    Arnaud Kalimuendo has basically done nothing all game but that doesn't matter now because he's scored the opening goal.

    He beats two defenders on the edge of the box and then Siebe Horemans kicks the ball back to the Forest striker, who slots past the keeper.

    Shelbourne v Crystal Palace (20:00 GMT)

    Crystal Palace make four changes from the side that began the 2-1 win over Fulham on Sunday with Walter Benitez starting in goal, while Justin Devenny, Borna Sosa and Christantus Uche are all playing.

    Shelbourne XI: Speel, Mbeng, Coyle, Barrett, Ledwidge, Caffrey, Henry-Francis, McInroy, Wood, Boyd, Martin.

    Subs: Healy, Topcu, Gannon, Wilson, Chapman, Lunney, Kelly, Temple, Ring, Moloney.

    It went through Kalimuendo's legs, I don't think he expected it to go there.

    That's an attacking lineup from the Reds tonight, so let's hope for goals. We've been close to a win a few times and an early Christmas present would be nice.

    It's almost like Zinchenko wants to remain in first gear in attack and defence. MacAtee also looks off the pace, again.
