Nottingham Forest, Recent FormThe Nottingham Forest squad will want to put the 5-0 away thrashing they received from Arsenal firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence. Their share of possession in that meeting was 31%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Arsenal, who had 24 shots on goal with 10 on target.
Having conceded 11 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at The City Ground. Steve Cooper will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Brentford, Recent FormBrentford manager Thomas Frank will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Wolverhampton Wanderers. In that game they had 59% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Wolverhampton Wanderers who had 14 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Ivan Toney will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 8 goals in Brentford's 13 league games this season.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Forest will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Bees, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 6 meetings between the two.
Forest manager Steve Cooper has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jack Colback (Back), Moussa Niakhaté (Groin), Lewis O'Brien (Virus), Omar Richards (Leg) and Harry Toffolo (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Aaron Hickey (Ankle), Pontus Jansson (Hamstring), Christian Nørgaard (Achilles tendon) and Thomas Strakosha (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
