Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo made 11 changes to the team that started Monday's 3-0 Premier League victory at Wolves, giving some of his fringe players an opportunity to impress against Championship strugglers Luton.

Nottingham Forest made it seven wins in a row in all competitions for the first time in 19 years by beating managerless Luton 2-0 in the FA Cup.

Nottingham Forest progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup courtesy of a 2-0 win over Luton Town on the banks of the Trent. Goals from Ryan Yates and Ramon Sosa proved enough to topple the Hatters in an entertaining tie. Victory ensured the Reds made it seven wins in a row in all competitions for the first time since 2006.

A mere six points was the difference between Forest staying up and Luton being sent down to the second tier last season, but a mammoth 38 places now separate the Champions League-chasing hosts and relegation-threatened Hatters in the English football pyramid.

Nottingham Forest extended their current winning streak to seven matches across all competitions with a 2-0 victory over managerless Luton in the FA Cup third round on Saturday at the City Ground.
