Sports Mole looks at how Brentford could line up for their trip to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Thursday night.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank is set to stick with largely the same XI that won last time out when they travel to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Thursday.

The Bees ended their nine-game winless run at home with a 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion almost two weeks ago, where Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa took centre stage once again.

A brace from Mbeumo took him to 18 goals in the Premier League this season, and it is likely the Cameroonian will break the 20-goal barrier despite this being the first top-flight season where he has hit double figures.

Wissa is just two goals behind in the Premier League scoring charts, where both are in the top six, with the DR Congo international looking to find the net for a third successive match, after notching against both Arsenal and Brighton.

The one change to the Brentford XI could come at right-back, where despite making a good impression on his full debut, Michael Kayode could be replaced by the more experienced Kristoffer Ajer.

Full-back is an area where the Bees are becoming stronger, with Rico Henry returning to action as a substitute last week, while Aaron Hickey is also closing in on a comeback after a very lengthy absence.

Igor Thiago could also return before the season is out, but Frank is less optimistic about the chances of Fabio Carvalho and Josh Dasilva featuring, while Yunus Emre Konak also picked up an injury issue against Brighton, despite coming on as an 87th-minute substitute.

Brentford possible starting lineup:
Flekken; Ajer, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Yarmolyuk, Damsgaard; Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade
