Nottingham Forest will be looking to put the pain of last week behind them as they take on Brentford tonight (Tuesday August 16).

The Reds lost 3-0 to Brighton on Friday night at the Amex Stadium where a Glenn Murray brace and an Anthony Knockeart goal sealed three points for the home team.

That loss was their first competitive defeat of the season after a 4-3 opening day win against Burton Albion and a 2-1 away win at Doncaster in the EFL Cup.

The Reds will be hopeful of a result at Griffin Park with Brentford having a mixed start to their campaign.

Brentford lost their opening fixture 2-1 away at Huddersfield which was followed up by a 1-0 away loss at League Two Exeter in the EFL Cup.

Brentford won their first game of the new season on Saturday (August 13) with a 2-0 home win over Ipswich.

A brace from summer signing John Egan was enough to secure all three points.
