  We discuss central-forward dijet production at LHC energies within the
framework of high energy factorization. In our study, we profit from the recent
progress on consistent merging of Sudakov resummation with small-$x$ effects,
which allows us to compute two different gluon distributions which depend on
longitudinal momentum, transverse momentum and the hard scale of the process:
one for the quark channel and one for the gluon channel. The small-$x$
resummation is included by means of the BK equation supplemented with a
kinematic constraint and subleading corrections. We test the new gluon
distributions against existing CMS data for transverse momentum spectra in
forward-central dijet production. We obtain results which are largely
consistent with our earlier predictions based on model implementation of
Sudakov form factors. In addition, we study dijet azimuthal decorrelations for
the forward-central jets, which are known to be sensitive to the modeling of
soft radiation.
