However, a defeat to Villa could see Forest drop down the table – with their opponents moving past them on goal difference.Both teams head into Wednesday’s clash on the back of wins, with Forest defeating Hull on Saturday, before Villa’s 4-2 defeat of local rivals Birmingham in Sunday’s Second City derby.

What the managers are saying

Dean Smith (Aston Villa): “I always see games against the big teams as opportunities. The same with any game really.But what’s pleasing me the most is that the players now also see them as opportunities, too. They’re looking forward to the games, I can see that. We’ve now won three games on the spin.This group knows how to win games, they did it enough last season and were unfortunate at the last hurdle.”Aitor Karanka (Nottingham Forest):“The way that we are playing now and for sure we still need to improve. We are in November and we have much more to come, but it is true since the day we changed 10 players, and in the summer we changed another six or seven players, it has been hard work for everybody at the club and the training ground.”
