Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 4-0 away defeat by Leicester City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 48%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Leicester City, who had 17 shots on goal with 7 on target.
With 5 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 19 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They are showing great consistency at The City Ground in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Cooper will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
Nottingham Forest will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 5 league games in a row no wins in 6 games.
Aston Villa, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Leeds United in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Aston Villa last time out. During that encounter they recorded 56% of the possession and had 19 attempts on goal with 7 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 1 of their 6 shots on goal.
It's fair to say that manager Steven Gerrard will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 7 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Aston Villa, Ollie Watkins will be looking to add more goals against Nottingham Forest in this match.
It was one to forget for Nottingham Forest last time they met Aston Villa in the league, falling to a 1-3 defeat.
The Villans will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Forest having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 8 meetings.
In the league, Aston Villa has a good track record when they travel to Forest, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
With only Moussa Niakhaté (Hamstring) and Omar Richards (Shin) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Steve Cooper will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ludwig Augustinsson (Hamstring), Diego Carlos (Achilles tendon), Matty Cash (Muscle), Calum Chambers (Gastrointestinal discomfort), Lucas Digne (Ankle) and Boubacar Kamara (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
