Nottingham Forest host Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday, with both sides closing in on the top four positions.
After Forest’s 1-0 win over Manchester United, the possibility of Nuno Espirito Santo leading the club into a challenge for European football this season is looking more and more likely.
Jamie Redknapp praised Espirito Santo in the wake of the United win, as Forest consolidated 5th position in the Premier League table.
Next up to face Forest at the City Ground are Aston Villa, who come into the clash on the back of three consecutive victories in all competitions. If the Forest squad are to remain in their current European battle, victories against fellow challengers like Villa will be crucial.
Here is all the information you need to know ahead of Nottingham Forest’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa.

The only new absentee will be Alex Moreno, who is ineligible to play against his parent club after joining Forest on loan from Villa. Neco Williams will deputise for Moreno as he did successfully against United.
