About 1,200 Nottingham Forest supporters have travelled to Istanbul, a long trip made on relatively short notice. Fans brought cuddly toys and were present inside the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. Fenerbahce’s starting XI features many former Premier League players, with Nelson Semedo highlighted. Vitor Pereira selected Forest’s strongest available eleven, signalling seriousness about the competition despite only four days in charge. Ederson starts in goal for Fenerbahce while Stefan Ortega is Forest’s goalkeeper. Full starting lineups and substitutes were named. Pereira previously managed Fenerbahce and will be familiar with Istanbul’s hostile atmosphere. Kick-off is 17:45 GMT.
