Forest were third in the table after winning three successive matches. The Midlands side then lost 2-1 at Aston Villa and 1-0 against Everton at home before beating Tottenham 2-1.

Nottingham Forest Injuries

Defenders Eric da Silva Moreira and Ola Aina are unlikely to feature due to injury.

The Bees’ most recent defeat was a 2-1 loss at Newcastle. Brentford replied with a goalless stalemate against Chelsea and a 1-1 comeback draw at Arsenal.

Thomas Frank’s side kept up the good form on Saturday by thrashing Brighton 4-2 at the Gtech. Bryan Mbeumo struck twice and Yoane Wissa and Christian Nørgaard also hit the net.

Brentford Injuries

Midfield pair Vitaly Janelt and Josh Dasilva are ruled out.

Attacker Fabio Carvalho and defender Igor Thiago are also sidelined with injuries.
