Head coach Steve Cooper is desperate for that winning feeling at the City Ground - and not just because of what it would mean for Nottingham Forest’s survival hopes.
With four games of the Premier League season left, the Reds are in the bottom three on goal difference. They are level on points with Leicester City and Leeds United above them, and one ahead of 19th-placed Everton.
Cooper’s side ended an 11-match winless run in their last game Trentside, when they beat Brighton and Hove Albion. But although they put in another good performance against Brentford at the weekend, they let a second successive victory slip from their grasp as the hosts came from behind to triumph 2-1.
