Equipment Analysis

Nottingham Forest

However, their recent record against Aston Villa is not favourable, as they have failed to beat them in their last three meetings.

In terms of injuries, the team will be without Boli, Savona, Murillo, Hudson-Odoi and Victor, while Kunia is a doubt. Despite these absences, his recent form is encouraging.
