'Set for a recall' - Predicted Nottingham Forest line-up to take on Brentford

Nottingham Forest will look to head into the international break on a high note as they take on Brentford at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.

Manager Sabri Lamouchi faces some intriguing selection choices after the 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday, when Forest were perhaps second best on the night.

With Michael Dawson out, Lamouchi must again choose who stands in for the captain at the back, while Yuri Ribeiro and Sammy Ameobi were played away from their favoured positions at Ewood Park, with Ribeiro on the left wing and Ameobi as the number 10.

We have been taking a good look at what Lamouchi  is most likely do as the Reds take the field with the chance to return to the top of the Championship.

Brice Samba will be in goal having firmly established himself as the first choice keeper, with Matty Cash continuing at right-back in the absence of the injured Carl Jenkinson.

Joe Worrall is likely to again have Tobias Figueiredo alongside him with Dawson out until the international break has passed. Left-back Jack Robinson completes the back four.

Ben Watson will anchor midfield alongside the energetic Samba Sow with Joao Carvalho set for a recall as the number 10.

Joe Lolley has two goals in as many games and is set to start on the right wing with Ameobi just edging out Albert Adomah on the left.

That just leaves Lewis Grabban to lead the line as ever.

Predicted Forest starting XI: Samba, Cash, Worrall, Figueiredo, Robinson, Watson, Sow, Carvalho, Lolley, Ameobi, Grabban
