Team News

Aston Villa
Nottingham Forest
  • Leon Bailey will be assessed for Aston Villa after he missed the 3-0 win at Brighton on Wednesday night.
  • That leaves just Ross Barkley as the only confirmed absentee for Saturday's crunch clash with Aston Villa.
  • Marco Asensio and Ollie Watkins may both come into the side, while Amadou Onana returned to action off the bench and is pushing for a start.
  • Nuno will hope to have key attackers Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood available for selection on Saturday evening.
  • Ola Aina is missing after suffering a calf injury in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Manchester United, and with Alex Moreno ineligible to face Aston Villa, Nuno may move to a three-man backline.
  • Nicolas Dominguez and Morato may both come into the side as a result, with Ryan Yates moving over to right wing-back.

Prediction

  • Aston Villa boosted their chances of finishing in the Champions League places with a fine 3-0 win at Brighton on Wednesday night. Unai Emery has now overseen three league victories from their last four.
  • Nottingham Forest claimed a third successive league win, but victory over Manchester United on Tuesday came at a cost as Ola Aina suffered a calf injury. Forest have lost both games at Villa Park following their return to the Premier League.
  • Villa will have one eye on next week's Champions League meeting with PSG but should claim a result on Saturday evening.
