Can Forest Fire Back into Third?

Nottingham Forest have had a sensational season, but they are in danger of missing out on a UEFA Champions League spot after a slump in form. The Reds have slipped to sixth after two defeats in their last three.

Forest were not in league action last weekend, as they lost 2-0 to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals. Thursday’s fixture is their game in hand, and three points will take Nuno’s boys back up to third.

Brentford are aiming for a top-half finish this term. The Bees have had another solid season under the popular Frank, collecting 46 points from 33 games. The London club are four points away from tenth-place Bournemouth.

Brentford have lost just one of their previous five in the Premier League. Last time out, the Bees picked up an impressive 4-2 home victory over Brighton & Hove Albion. Can they claim a sixth away league victory of the campaign on Thursday?
