Nottingham Forest confirmed lineup is out for this afternoon’s Premier League meeting with Aston Villa at Villa Park.
Oliver Glasner has kept faith with the same basic formation, with Forest lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation. The Reds are still searching for their first league win of the season, while Aston Villa come into the game after beating Club Brugge 3-2 in the Champions League.
Nottingham Forest confirmed lineup vs Aston Villa
Matz Sels starts in goal, with Diomande, Murillo and Ole Aina making up the three-man defence.
Daniel Munoz and Neco Williams will provide the width from the wing-back positions, while Xaver Schlager starts alongside James McAtee in midfield.
Further forward, Morgan Gibbs-White and Dan Ndoye will play behind Liam Delap, who leads the Forest attack.
Nottingham Forest XI:
Sels, Munoz, Murillo, Diomande, Aina, Schlager, McAtee, Williams; Gibbs-White, Ndoye, Delap.
Nottingham Forest arrive at Villa Park still waiting for their first victory after opening the campaign with two defeats and two draws. Their most recent league game ended 0-0 against Tottenham, although that result was overshadowed by the controversial decision to rule out Neco Williams’ second-half goal.
Glasner has been vocal about that VAR decision, but Forest now have little time to dwell on it.
Villa will be looking for another positive result after their midweek win in Belgium. Emery’s side came through a nervy finish to beat Club Brugge 3-2, giving them some confidence heading into the weekend.
