A run of three successive home games ahead of the World Cup break makes November a big month for Nottingham Forest.
The Reds are bottom of the Premier League table, having picked up nine points from 13 matches. But, crucially, they are only three points behind 17th-placed Southampton, with plenty still to play for.
Forest will be trying to ensure they are in a better position by the time the season pauses later this month, or make sure they are at least still within touching distance of the teams above them. And that starts with targeting an improved performance, and result, against Brentford on Saturday.
