Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa: Premier League preview

Vitor Pereira's side does have some breathing room between them and the Premier League's bottom three, after winning against Spurs before the international break.

The Tricky Trees were also pretty impressive in Portugal on Thursday night, earning a point in their UEFA Europa League quarter-final first leg, drawing 1-1, despite having a whole host of first-team players currently out of action.

Forest's form at the City Ground on the domestic front has been abysmal, to say the least, earning a total of just three wins from 15 such matches.

Chris Wood returned from injury against FC Porto, so we could expect to see him lead the line on Sunday afternoon.

Aston Villa will have no doubt welcomed the news that the top five in the Premier League will now gain UEFA Champions League qualification for next season.

The Villans' title hopes have diminished following the new year, and it's just one win in five for Emery's side.

Ollie Watkins found the net twice against Bologna in midweek, perhaps giving Thomas Tuchel something late to consider ahead of his final upcoming World Cup squad selection.

Morgan Rogers is most definitely guaranteed to make it, however, after chipping in with 10 goals and 7 assists in all competitions so far this term.
