Concedes two in defeat Sels made three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Brighton.

Impact Sels pulled off one of the game's key moments early in the second half with a stunning double save, first parrying Diego Gomez's effort before springing up to deny Ferdi Kadioglu from close range. He had already stopped Yankuba Minteh in a one-on-one during Brighton's fast start and generally kept the deficit at a single goal while Forest chased an equaliser.

Sels made three saves on Sunday, raising his total to 43 in 13 Premier League appearances this campaign. He will look to show a better figure against Wolves on Wednesday.
