Brentford bid to win their eighth Premier League home game of the season. The Bees are 11th in the table and host Nottimgham Forest who are fourth and dreaming of a Champions League place. It's a real puzzle for anyone associated with Brentord. They have 23 points this season from their 16 league games and all but one of them have been earned on home soil. Midweek saw them lose on the road again as they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup at Newcastle.

Now they return home hoping to add to the 26 goals scored in eight home league games, seven of which have been won. They host Nottingham Forest who have surprised everyone by being fourth in the Premier League after 16 matches. Last weekend saw them come from behind to beat Aston Villa and they have won four away league games this season. Can they make it five? Read our match prediction.

Brentford - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis

40 goals have been scored in just eight Brentford home league games this season. 26 of them have been scored by the home side, compared to just six on the road. Eight of their last nine home league games have seen over 2.5 goals scored. The most recent home league fixture saw them Newcastle United 4-2 at home but they then lost 3-1 away to them in this week's Carabao Cup game.

Can Forest be in the top four at Christmas?

One of the big surprises of this season has been the rise of Nottingham Forest. The Reds have won eight league games this season and last term they only won nine. Last week saw them beat Aston Villa 2-1 at home thanks to a 93rd minute winner.

They have won four away league games this season, including victories at both Liverpool and Manchester United. Each of their last four away league games has seen over 2.5 goals scored.

Brentford & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis

Brentford lost at Newcastle in midweek and that game saw Ethan Pinnock have to leave the field of play due to a hamstring injury. Missing that match was Sepp van den Berg who has a groin problem. Neither are expected to play this weekend.

Also missing for the Bees are Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Josh Dasilva, Mathias Jensen and Gustavo Nunes. Igor Thiago didn't play in midweek either but he is back training and should feature in some way this weekend.

Brentford have scored four goals in three of their last four home league games. They'll be hoping for more goals from Kevin Schade. He's scored four in the last two at home, including a hat-trick against Leicester. Yoane Wissa will be trying to score for a fifth consecutive home league game.

Murillo and Yates are slight doubts for Forest.

Nottingham Forest also have some injury problems. Murillo was injured against Aston Villa last weekend and Ryan Yates also picked up an injury in their 2-1 win. Both may be ready to play in this game. Out though are Ibrahim Sangare and Danilo.
