Mark Warburton has warned Brentford will be facing a wounded animal when they take on Nottingham Forest tomorrow night.

Stuart Pearce's side have slipped out of the promotion picture after a nightmare eight-game winless streak that stretches back to September.

The Bees stunned high-flying Derby County on Saturday and travel to the City Ground level on points with the hosts.

However, he knows Forest will be desperate to get their promotion push back on track after a shaky spell.

"They will be hungry," Warburton told Bees Player. "They've got an experienced and passionate manager, so we are well aware that his team will be going to deliver a 100 per cent performance in front of an expectant and frustrated crowd.

"It will be a huge test for us. We have to try and take the sting out of that. We're well aware of their threats."

Forest have shipped eight goals in three games and Warburton will set up his side to attack as they bid to cause an upset.

He added: "They've gone through a rough time of late and it's up to us to go there and impose our way of playing."

Brentford have no fresh injury worries for the Championship clash, with Alan McCormack, Richard Lee, Nico Yennaris and Scott Hogan still missing.
