Team news
Gracia looks set to make a number of changes after the team's defeat in north London on Sunday.
Captain Liam Cooper, Weston McKennie, Rodrigo, Patrick Bamford and Georginio Rutter were all named on the bench and will be pushing for starting roles.
Maximilian Wober, Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw, Tyler Adams and Willy Gnonto are all set to miss Tuesday's game with injuries.
As for the visitors, Forest have their own lengthy injury list with Dean Henderson, Willy Boly, Scott McKenna, Serge Aurier, Gustavo Scarpa, Giulian Biancone, Omar Richards, Ryan Yates and Chris Wood all sidelined.
Reds boss Steve Cooper could look to bring in Renan Lodi at left-back, while Emmanuel Denis and Morgan Gibbs-White are both expected to start up top alongside Brennan Johnson.

Leeds to win and both teams to score @ 11/4
The Whites have started to show progress under Gracia and one defeat in their last five home games in the Premier League has highlighted that.
Leeds were unfortunate not to come away from the City Ground with something to show for their efforts back in February, with Forest keeper Keylor Navas coming to the host's rescue in a frantic first half.
That 1-0 win for Forest against Leeds, thanks to Johnson's superb strike, was their last win in the Premier League.
Leeds have made Elland Road a tough place to go to and can edge this encounter, with both teams likely to get on the scoresheet.
With that in mind, Leeds to come out on top 2-1 in this encounter is available at 7/1 in the correct score market.
#PickYourPunt - Rodrigo to score anytime & Joe Worrall carded @ 13/2
Back from injury, much relies on the shoulders of Leeds' top goalscorer Rodrigo to get the goals needed to secure survival this season.
The Spain international has 11 Premier League goals to his name this term and can add to his tally on Tuesday night.
As a second part of this #PickYourPunt selection with Betfred, a Joe Worrall booking lifts the odds to 13/2.
No player has been booked more for Forest than the defender this season and it would be little surprise to see the 26-year-old back in hot water with the officials at Elland Road.
