Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest

Match preview

An anxious atmosphere grips Villa Park as Aston Villa search for their first win of the campaign. Sitting seventeenth with a single point from three matches, the hosts desperately need to arrest a sluggish start following an opening loss on home turf.

Nottingham Forest arrive one place and one point better off, though their own wait for a victory continues after a pair of draws preceded a defeat. Memories remain fresh of their heavy defeat at this ground late last season, adding extra tension to a fixture both sides view as an early opportunity to climb away from the lower reaches of the table.
