Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest: Preview
Villa manager Unai Emery cannot be questioned when it comes to winning the Europa League. Nobody knows how to do it better than him, and nobody even comes close, yet the signs are not good for the West Midlands club.
Forest boss Vítor Pereira said after their win at Stamford Bridge that they had changed the players but kept the spirit. If the same thing can be said of Villa, it's not a positive. Fighting on two fronts is not easy, but the pressure they've put on their two matches this week is as intense as it is unnecessary.
This second leg at Villa Park is the basket into which Emery clearly believed he could put all his eggs. Villa need Premier League points to qualify for the Champions League, and it's clear that Emery has more faith in his players to beat Burnley than many of their supporters.
Indeed, the white heat of that fixture will not be helpful at all. The only way to ease that would be to see off Forest in the Europa League, book Villa's place in a second-ever European final, and chase away the cloud that suddenly hangs over the end of the Villans' season.

In truth, a positive outcome for Villa in the Europa League looks more unlikely right now than it has at any prior stage in this season's competition. Forest's trajectory – specifically its contrast against Villa's – is the biggest reason for that.
Now all but safe from relegation, which has really only been a vague possibility for some time, Forest have taken flight under Pereira in recent weeks.
Their last defeat in any competition was more than two months ago in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie against Midtjylland, and Forest have now won their last five in the Premier League and Europa League, conceding just twice in those matches.
Emery will point to the fact that the last team to hold them to a draw was Villa in the league last month, but the positives are pretty thin gruel at Villa Park after Sunday’s abysmal and avoidable showing.

FourFourTwo's prediction
Aston Villa 0-2 Nottingham Forest
Sporting destiny doesn't look kindly on teams that take wins for granted and Villa's underestimation of Spurs and Burnley could be brutally punished in the next four days.
