Nottingham Forest travel to the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday, aiming to complete a historic league double over Brentford.
Sean Dyche’s side has moved five points clear of the relegation zone despite a recent dip in form. The Tricky Trees arrive in West London seeking to bounce back from a heavy European defeat. While their away record has been inconsistent, they found success in their last visit to the capital. A positive result is essential to stop their slide towards the bottom three.
The visitors receive a significant boost with the return of two key attacking options. Notably, Taiwo Awoniyi and Omari Hutchinson are back in the squad after missing the midweek fixture. Elliot Anderson is also available for selection despite his recent red card in the Europa League. Consequently, Sean Dyche has more depth available as he navigates a mounting injury list in other areas.
Matz Sels will start in goal behind a defensive unit missing the injured John Victor. Ola Aina and Neco Williams are expected to occupy the full-back positions. In midfield, Ibrahim Sangaré will likely partner Anderson to provide defensive stability. Morgan Gibbs-White remains the vital creative cog in the number ten role. He will look to support an attack led by Igor Jesus, provided he passes a late fitness test.
Nottingham Forest predicted XI: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Morato, Williams; Sangare, Anderson; Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Jesus
