Nottingham Forest-Aston Villa is a match valid for the 16th day of the Premier League and is played on Saturday at 6:30 pm: live TV, probable formations, prediction.
After the four main candidates for the title (Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and City), in the standings, there are them. But if it is no longer a surprise to see Aston Villa occupying the top positions in the Premier League standings, Nottingham Forest’s momentary fifth place is a complete novelty. Despite the ups and downs and an attack that is certainly not scoring in spades (it is the least prolific among the top 10, with 19 goals), Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are keeping a European pace and with 25 totaled in 15 games they can say they already have salvation – the season’s goal – in their pocket.
Last Saturday, the Reds took away another not bad satisfaction, conquering the “temple” of Old Trafford and chastising Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United, beaten 3-2 at home. Forest is no stranger to this kind of feat this year, if we consider that it was the only team to get the better of otherwise undefeated league to Champions League leaders Liverpool. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, fresh off two straight wins over Brentford and Southampton, is also at 25. The Villans, unlike the Reds, also had to face a Champions League commitment during the week: a “crazy” match, the one with Leipzig, but in the end it was the Birmingham club that got the better of it, which came out on top with 5 minutes left thanks to a Barkley goal (2-3) and consolidated its place among the top eight. In the cup, striker Watkins was injured: his place will be taken by the unleashed Duran, author of a goal of rare beauty in Germany. The Reds coach, however, will have to do without Danilo, Sangaré and Alex Moreno.
