Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as Paul Merson offers his verdict on the Reds’ Premier League clash against Brentford on Sunday
Paul Merson believes Brentford are “there for the taking” when they face Nottingham Forest this weekend.
It’s been a difficult start for Thomas Frank’s side who have won just once in the Premier League so far this season. The Bees were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup in mid-week.
But despite Brentford enduring a difficult spell of form, former Arsenal player Merson has backed Sunday’s match at the City Ground to end all square. He’s gone with a 1-1 draw.

“Neither of these two sides has been particularly impressive in recent weeks, indicating that we could see an evenly-matched contest,” he told Sportskeeda.
“Brentford look like they are there for the taking, so Forest will look to make home advantage count to secure a positive result.
“The Bees could get dragged into a relegation battle in the coming weeks as they’ve just won one game so far in the Premier League. In Ivan Toney’s absence, Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo have shown flashes of brilliance, but they need an out-and-out striker to regularly put the ball into the back of the net.”
