Analysis
This is a competitive fixture between a solid Premier League side and an ambitious challenger. Nottingham Forest will look to be compact and organized defensively, while Aston Villa possess the quality to break down resistance with their attacking movement. A narrow away victory edges ahead of the draw given Villa's squad depth, but Forest's home resilience keeps this genuinely competitive.
