Kelvin Wilson returns to the heart of Nottingham Forest's defence for the visit of Brentford after missing their 3-0 defeat at Huddersfield Town last Saturday.

Matty Fryatt has recovered from a groin problem, but is named among the substitutes by manager Stuart Pearce along with Britt Assombalonga.

Captain Michael Mancienne is passed fit to start at the City Ground, despite limping towards the end of Saturday's game at Huddersfield, which saw the East Midlands club extend their winless run to nine games and fall to 10th in the Championship table.

Brentford boss Mark Warburton has again turned to winger Moses Odubajo to cover the right-back slot vacated by the injured Alan McCormack.

Stuart Dallas is left out of the Bees' starting lineup, despite scoring the winner in the West London club's weekend clash with Derby County.

Nottingham Forest: Darlow, Wilson, Mancienne, Lansbury, Fox, Lascelles, Hunt, Antonio, Ince, Burke, Osborn

Brentford: Button, Odubajo, Dean, Craig, Bidwell, Douglas, Toral, Judge, Diagouraga, Peleteiro Ramallo, Gray
