Nottingham Forest travel to Brentford on Saturday looking to continue some impressive recent form.

The Reds followed up a defeat to Manchester City by beating Manchester United and Aston Villa in successive weekends.

Nuno Espirito Santo has taken the plaudits for a remarkable start to the season and now the halfway stage is approaching.

Pundits have been predicting this weekend’s Forest result and it would appear it’s a tricky one to call.

Recently, Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood agreed on Forest’s best moment of the season and hopefully, this weekend is another memorable occasion in this crazy campaign.

After beating Villa last weekend, Espirito Santo gave an update on Ryan Yates and Murillo after they both went off injured.

Now, it would seem as though Brentford might have a problem of their own ahead of Saturday’s game.

Brentford suffer injury setback ahead of Forest game

The Bees exited the Carabao Cup last night when they were beaten against Newcastle away from home.

Thomas Frank made changes to his team for the game but it was an injury to the defender Ethan Pinnock that will concern him the most.

The central defender was substituted after just 13 minutes of the contest and the Bees are now sweating on his fitness ahead of the weekend.

Pinnock has been colossal for Brentford and according to FBRef, he has the most clearances of any other player in the Premier League this season.

Forest have to be ready for Brentford test

Whoever plays for Brentford on Saturday, the game will be tough for Forest.

The Bees are formidable on home soil and ultimately, Frank is blessed with a sound squad.

If not Pinnock at the weekend it will be another very decent defender and Forest will have to prepare for every eventuality.

With the team in outstanding form, this will be a sound test of character for Espirito Santo and his team.

The current Forest line up boasts a lot of quality and hopefully, another good account can be given of the progress being made at the club.
