Morgan Gibbs-White sat out Forest's 18 October defeat to Arsenal by choice, not necessity, Oliver Glasner said, with Ipswich away five days later: "if this is the final game of the year, he would have played... I didn't want to take any risks."

What they've said
Nottingham Forest
Everything said since their last game, v Arsenal on 18 Oct.
Nicolás Domínguez made his first Forest start in the 18 October defeat to Arsenal. Manager Oliver Glasner said he wanted "players with the best energy on the pitch and Nico Dominguez always has energy."
Morgan Gibbs-White said he was fine, but Forest manager Oliver Glasner left him out against Arsenal after he felt his muscle in a few situations. Glasner would not risk a 4-6 week reinjury: "I didn't want to take any risk... I expect him being back for the Ipswich game."
Ipswich Town
Everything said since their last game, v Man City on 17 Oct.
"When you're only getting six or seven attacks at the Etihad, to lose three of them to wrongly given offsides is tough to take." Gary O'Neil said Ipswich's Dara O'Shea, Issa Diop and Abdoul Ouattara were wrongly flagged but admitted poor decisions of their own hurt too.
The deep, compact setup Ipswich used at Man City is one Gary O'Neil has now used against City three times, including a home win with Wolves. "I'm sure it's something that I'll use again." Daizen Maeda, who scored, played higher than normal to run at City's high line.
Saša Lukić missed Ipswich's defeat at Man City with a slight groin problem, held out as a precaution. "It was important that we didn't take any unnecessary risks with him," Gary O'Neil said. He expects Lukić to be involved in the next Premier League game, against Forest.
