Nottingham Forest's quest to extend their impressive season continues on Tuesday night, this time in the FA Cup.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side take on Exeter City in the fourth round of the prestigious cup competition as they travel to face the League One club. Forest beat Luton Town in the previous round of the tournament and go into the fixture on the back of a 7-0 win over Brighton in the Premier League earlier this month.

Forest make the trip to St James Park looking to book a place in the last-16 of the FA Cup. Some notable teams have already been knocked out of the competition, including Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
