Inför matchen: Nottingham Forest tar emot Aston Villa i Premier League-returen

Nottingham Forest tar emot Aston Villa på City Ground på söndag i Premier League-returen, efter Villas 3-1-seger över Forest på Villa Park i januari. Båda klubbarna kommer direkt från kvartsfinalernas första matcher i Europa League, där Forest spelade oavgjort mot Porto på torsdagen och Villa säkrade en historisk seger mot Bologna i Italien. Matchen har avspark kl. 14:00 BST.

Nottingham Forest ligger tre poäng ovanför nedflyttningsstrecket efter en 3-0-seger borta mot Tottenham den 22 mars, och har stabiliserat formen sedan förlusten i derbyt tidigare under säsongen. Huvudtränaren Vitor Pereira betonade utmaningarna med att balansera spel i Europa med överlevnad i ligaspelet. ”Om vi har en trygg och bekväm situation i ligan kan vi kanske riskera lite mer [i Europa]”, sade Pereira. Han påpekade risken för utmattning om man ställer upp med samma lag mot Porto och sedan mot Villa bara några dagar senare.
