Aston Villa welcome Nottingham Forest to Villa Park on Saturday as the two Premier League disruptors look to boost their Champions League hopes.

Forest's hard-fought midweek win over Man Utd has kept them on course for a third-place finish and qualification for Europe's elite club competition for the first time in more than four decades – a remarkable feat given they were battling relegation last term.

Nuno Espírito Santo is still sweating over the fitness of first-choice striker Chris Wood, who has been absent since the international break due to injury.

The extra firepower could well be vital at Villa Park as the hosts have scored 14 goals in a six-game winning run that has them in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and part of the race for the top five Premier League spots.

A win against Forest on Saturday could see them finish the weekend as high as fifth – should results elsewhere go their way.
