THE LOWDOWN
BRENTFORD
- Brentford secured their first win in seven Premier League games when they came away from Stamford Bridge with a 0-2 win over Chelsea on Wednesday evening.
- There is no change with the injury situation in the Bees dressing room but Thomas Frank could revert back to his commonly used 4-3-3 system against Forest, after opting for a slightly different set-up against Chelsea.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
- After an 11-game winless run which has put them in real danger of the drop, Nottingham Forest claimed a potentially crucial victory over Brighton midweek, but they must continue to pick up points as they remain in a perilous position in the table.
- Forest’s injury list lengthened again with the news that Neco Williams will be out for the season while Moussa Niakhate and Taiwo Awoniyi picked up knocks in the win over Brighton and are considered doubts.

THE PREDICTION
Nottingham Forest’s win over Brighton on Wednesday was huge for their survival prospects and Steve Cooper’s side lifted themselves out of the bottom three as a result, but their away form has been dire this season with just one win on the road to speak of in the Premier League. Their need is greater than Brentford’s but their huge injury list has hindered them significantly in the latter half of the season. They will scrap for every point but they remain defensively suspect, so expect both teams to score regardless of which team emerges victorious here.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
