Brentford Kick Off Premier League Campaign Against Nottingham Forest
Hey everyone, let’s talk about the big Premier League clash coming up this Sunday—Nottingham Forest hosting Brentford at the City Ground. It’s the first match of the 2025/26 season, and there’s already a lot of buzz surrounding it, especially for the Bees. This is the start of a new era under their new manager, Keith Andrews, who takes charge after Thomas Frank’s departure. A lot is expected from Brentford as they try to settle quickly under his guidance and aim for a positive start.
The lineup for Brentford has been influenced by quite a bit of summer change. Key departures like Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Nørgaard have meant that some new faces will be immediately integrated into the squad. Unfortunately, Yoane Wissa won’t be available for this match, as he’s away amid ongoing transfer talks. In midfield, a fresh partnership of Jordan Henderson and Mathias Jensen will be tasked with controlling the game and providing the energy needed to compete with Forest’s ambitious squad. Thankfully, aside from the long-term absentees, there are no new injury worries reported for the team.

So, here’s how Brentford’s predicted lineup shapes up: Kelleher in goal, Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, and Henry forming the backline. Jensen and Henderson will manage the midfield, while Carvalho, Damsgaard, and Lewis-Potter take on the creative duties. Up front, Thiago is expected to lead the attack. It’s a squad that blends experience with new additions, and how well they gel could define the outcome of this opening fixture.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, comes into this game with confidence after a strong 2024/25 season where they finished seventh, narrowly missing out on the top five. They’ll be looking to build on that and kick off their campaign with a strong performance at home. This matchup is expected to be tight, with control of the midfield likely to be decisive. Historically, Brentford has had a slight edge in recent meetings, winning three of the last five encounters, so Forest will certainly have their work cut out for them.
For fans looking to catch the action, the match kicks off at 4:30pm BST and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League in the UK. Streaming is also available via the Sky Go app, so there’s no excuse to miss it. Sunday promises to be an exciting start to the Premier League season, and both teams will be hoping to set the tone early with a solid performance.
