Brentford travel to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest on Sunday, opening their 2025/26 Premier League account under new manager Keith Andrews.
The match marks the beginning of the post-Thomas Frank era for the Bees. Consequently, Andrews will be looking for his side to adapt quickly and secure a positive result against a Forest team buoyed by European qualification. The contest is expected to be a gritty battle, with control of the midfield likely to be decisive.

Furthermore, Andrews will be without forward Yoane Wissa, who is absent from the squad amid ongoing transfer talks.
In midfield, a new partnership of Jordan Henderson and Mathias Jensen will be tasked with providing control and energy. Aside from long-term absentees, the club reports no new injury worries.
