Nottingham Forest continue to sit in a lofty position in the Premier League standings after 16 rounds of matches, and they could potentially go into Christmas Day as high as third.
The Tricky Trees have won each of their last two in the English top-flight, and they are now sitting fourth and a point above Man City.
Brentford’s home advantage has been key to their progression this season, but they come into this round after suffering defeats in two of their last three matches in the Premier League.
