Latest team news for Nottingham vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa's victory over Leipzig was not easy, with Ollie Watkins forced off in the first half due to a minor injury, making way for John Duran, who later scored. Manager Unai Emery confirmed Watkins' injury wasn't serious, but he might not risk it, especially given Duran's excellent form. Leon Bailey, also with a hamstring problem, could feature at the last minute, while Jacob Ramsey (thigh injury) is not expected to return before the new year.
For Nottingham Forest, Nuno Espirito Santo will be without Alex Moreno (injured) and Neco Williams will continue at left-back. Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare are still recovering from injuries, so Santo can keep the same team that won against Man United. Tai Wood, who scored 10 goals before Christmas, will continue to lead the attack, supported by Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jota Silva, who is likely to start in place of Anthony Elanga.

Latest football match prediction: Nottingham vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa are experiencing a strong resurgence with an impressive recent winning streak, matching their previous 12 victories. In their match against RB Leipzig, Villa twice took the lead but were pegged back before Ross Barkley scored the winning goal in the 85th minute, securing a 3-2 victory for Unai Emery's side and boosting their hopes of progressing through the Champions League group stage.
In the Premier League, Villa also enjoyed a winning streak, including a 3-1 victory over Southampton, ending an eight-match winless run across all competitions. They currently sit sixth and are only behind rivals like Nottingham Forest on goal difference, opening up a chance to compete for a Champions League spot next season.
However, Villa will face a major challenge when they visit Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Following defeats against Tottenham, Chelsea, and Liverpool, Villa could suffer a run of consecutive away losses, something unprecedented in their Premier League history.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are in impressive form, particularly after their emphatic 5-0 victory over Manchester United. Chris Wood, with his 10th Premier League goal, continues to lead Forest. The win keeps Forest in the top 10, currently fifth thanks to a superior goal difference over Villa, and they are aiming for their fourth win in their last five home games. Forest also previously defeated Villa 2-0 at City Ground last season.
