Forest’s 2-0 win against Brentford in the reverse fixture ended a six-game winless run against the Bees in the league, with three draws and three defeats, but they did complete the league double against them during the 2019-20 season when the teams were in the Championship.

Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs Brentford: (4-2-3-1): Sels; Williams, Milenković, Murillo, Toffolo; Anderson, Danilo, Elanga, Gibbs-White, Elanga; Wood. Chris Wood took his tally to 19 Premier League goals for the season at Spurs on Easter Monday, although he's only ever scored twice in 11 meetings with Brentford.

Nottingham Forest host Brentford on Thursday hoping to climb back to third in the Premier League table with a win.
