Nottingham Forest vs Wolves live stream and match preview
Looking for a Nottingham Forest vs Wolves live stream? We've got you covered.
Both of these teams are currently battling against relegation from the Premier League this season, but they will put that fight on hold in an attempt to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup this week.
Forest were dumped out of the FA Cup in emphatic fashion at the weekend, going down 4-1 to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road. That was a disappointing result following an uptick in form which has seen Steve Cooper's side lose only one of their last five matches in the Premier League.
Forest's priority remains staying in the top flight, but they are potentially just three games away from reaching the Carabao Cup final for the first time since 1992.
With Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool having already been eliminated, the winner of this year's tournament could come from outside the big six (although the two Manchester clubs are still involved).
Wolves produced a battling performance to draw 2-2 with Liverpool at the weekend, forcing a replay in the third round of the FA Cup.
Julen Lopetegui has made a solid if not spectacular start to his tenure at Molineux, and there is certainly much more optimism among the club's fan base now than there was a couple of months ago.
Wolves have been defeated in only one of their first five fixtures under Lopetegui, and even that loss came by a slender margin to Manchester United.
Wolves will be unable to call upon the services of Pedro Neto, Chiquinho, Boubacar Toure and Sasa Kalajdzic, while Daniel Podence is struggling with a knock but could still be involved in some capacity.
Meanwhile Forest will have to make do without Jesse Lingard, Moussa Niakhate, Cheikhou Kouyate, Omar Richards, Neco Williams and Giulian Biancone for this quarter-final.
Taiwo Awoniyi has been struggling with muscle fatigue and he will need to be checked ahead of Wednesday's clash at the City Ground.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Carabao Cup football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Carabao Cup action, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
