The new Championship campaign gets up and running this weekend, with Nottingham Forest making the trip to face Bristol City on Saturday.

And Reds boss Aitor Karanka faces something of a selection headache when it comes to naming his starting XI for the opening game.

Eleven new arrivals have come through the City Ground doors this summer, with a number heading in the opposite direction – or being told they will not feature in the manager’s plans – as Karanka overhauled his squad.

It leaves some tough competition for places across the pitch, especially as there have been plenty of impressive performances in pre-season as players staked their claim for a first-team spot.

So we want to know how you think Forest should line up at Ashton Gate.

Luke Steele became the latest signing this week, providing competition for Costel Pantilimon between the posts.

Danny Fox, Michael Dawson, Tobias Figueiredo and Joe Worrall are battling for the two centre-back places, while it seems to be a straight fight between Jack Robinson and Ben Osborn for the left-back spot.

Ryan Yates has put himself into contention to be given a chance in midfield, having put in some standout displays in Forest’s recent friendlies. But Karanka also has Jack Colback, Adlene Guedioura, Ben Watson and Liam Bridcutt as possibilities for the holding roles in his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation.

And further up the field, the Reds have a wealth of attacking options.

Portuguese trio Joao Carvalho, Diogo Goncalves and Gil Dias have quickly settled into life on Trentside, while forwards Hillal Soudani and Lewis Grabban also joined the club this summer.

It is Daryl Murphy who has started the last two games as the lone front man, but Ben Brereton is now back from international duty with England Under-19s, and the likes of Joe Lolley and Matty Cash will hope they have done enough to feature against the Robins.

So what would your Reds team be for the first Championship clash?
