This is the Nottingham Forest confirmed lineup for their Premier League clash with Aston Villa. This is the later kick-off on the Saturday slate and offers both teams a chance to strengthen their positions in a push for European Football. While the Tricky Trees may look more comfortable they are being trailed by a seemingly resurgent Chelsea, an inevitable Manchester City, and a Carabao Cup boosted Newcastle. The Villans, on the other hand, need the points to keep pace with the aforementioned sides if they hope to return to Europe’s top competition again next season.

Nottingham Forest Confirmed Lineup vs Aston Villa in Premier League Tie
Nottingham Forest Team News
Matz Sels is in goal as always having been an unshakeable presence between the sticks. Neco Williams, Murillo, Morato, and Nikola Milenkovic make up the back four. Elliott Anderson partners Ryan Yates in the defensive midfield spots. Nicolas Dominguez also gets a start with Anthony Elanga, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Morgan Gibbs-White rounding out the eleven.
Notable Changes
Both Taiwo Anoiyi and Chris Wood are not in the squad which leaves them without a striker to operate around, in response there are starts for all three usual defensive midfielders in Anderson, Yates, and Dominguez in what could be a 4-3-3 with Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, and Elanga as a front three. However it looks on the pitch, the manager will be able to blame absences on the relatively unusual setup.
