Having taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 away win over Fulham in their last league game, Aston Villa will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work.  In that game they had 48% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Fulham who had 15 attempts and 4 on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 22 of their 25 games this season.  

Ollie Watkins will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Aston Villa.

Nottingham Forest will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their home fixture against West Ham United.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target. West Ham United had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 21 of their 25 games overall.  

They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.  

Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Nottingham Forest, Chris Wood will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
