Premier League strugglers Nottingham Forest take on a midtable Brentford at the City Ground on Saturday, with both clubs hoping to return to winning ways.
Steve Cooper’s Forest side were demolished 5-0 by table toppers Arsenal last time out, having secured a famous win over Liverpool only a week earlier.
Meanwhile, Brentford recovered from a thumping 4-0 defeat against a rejuvenated Aston Villa side by drawing 1-1 with Wolverhampton Wanderers last week.
Forest are rooted at the bottom of the table, though will take some encouragement from the fact that seven of their nine points this season have been won at the City Ground. Meanwhile, the Bees are winless in all six of their Premier League away matches this term.
