Latest Nottingham vs Aston Villa team information
Aston Villa's win over Leipzig was far from easy, with Ollie Watkins coming off in the first half with a minor injury, replaced by Jhon Duran, who scored. Manager Unai Emery confirmed Watkins' injury was not serious, but he may not take any chances, especially with Duran's excellent form. Leon Bailey, who also has a hamstring problem, could be available at the last minute, while Jacob Ramsey (thigh) is not expected to return before the new year.
For Nottingham Forest, Nuno Espirito Santo is without Alex Moreno (injured) and Neco Williams will continue at left-back. Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare are still recovering from injuries, so Santo could stick with the same line-up that won against Man United. Tai Wood, who scored 10 goals before Christmas, will continue to lead the attack, with support from Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jota Silva, who is likely to start in place of Anthony Elanga.
Latest predicted lineup for Nottingham vs Aston Villa
Nottingham Forest:
Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Yates, Anderson; Jota, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
Aston Villa:
Martinez; Cash, Carlos, Torres, Maatsen; Onana, Tielemans; Philogene, Rogers, McGinn; Duran
Latest Nottingham vs Aston Villa football review
Aston Villa have enjoyed a resurgence in form recently, winning as many games as they had in their previous 12. Villa took the lead twice against RB Leipzig but were held to a draw before Ross Barkley scored an 85th-minute winner to give Unai Emery's side a 3-2 win and boost their hopes of progressing to the Champions League group stages.
Villa have also enjoyed a run of consecutive wins in the Premier League, including a 3-1 win over Southampton that ended an eight-game winless run in all competitions. They are currently sixth and only behind rivals Nottingham Forest on goal difference, opening up the chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League.
However, Villa face a huge test when they travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Following defeats to Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool, Villa could suffer back-to-back away defeats, something they have never done before in their Premier League history.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are in impressive form, particularly after a thumping 5-0 win over Manchester United. Chris Wood, with his 10th Premier League goal, continues to lead Forest. The win keeps Forest in the top 10, fifth on goal difference over Villa, and on course for a fourth win in their last five home games. Forest also won 2-0 against Villa last season at the City Ground.
