Nottingham Forest lineup vs. Brentford: Predicted XI for Premier League clash as Sean Dyche makes multiple changes

Nottingham Forest head coach Sean Dyche may be without both of his first-choice strikers for Sunday's Premier League scrap with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Chris Wood is already guaranteed to miss another few weeks due to his knee injury, while Igor Jesus was absent from the 1-0 Europa League loss to Braga on Thursday evening as a result of a knock.

It remains to be seen if Jesus returns in time for Sunday's trip to the capital, but if not, Dyche will most likely bring in Taiwo Awoniyi for what would be just his second Premier League start of the season.

Both Awoniyi and Omari Hutchinson were ineligible for Europa League action in midweek, but the pair could now be among a raft of changes from the visiting manager after a dreadful display in midweek.

Morgan Gibbs-White should be the only attacker to hold his spot - despite missing a penalty just 54 seconds before Ryan Yates's own goal - as Hutchinson, Awoniyi and Callum Hudson-Odoi start over Dan Ndoye, Dilane Bakwa and James McAtee.

Elliot Anderson's red card on Thursday is inconsequential in Premier League terms, so the England international will no doubt regain his place in midfield, and the same can likely be said for Ibrahim Sangare.

Murillo is also a slight doubt after missing the Braga beating with his own fitness issue, but there are no major concerns about the centre-back, who should be fine to take his place alongside Nikola Milenkovic.

Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:

Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Sangare, Anderson; Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Awoniyi
