It's the battle of the Premier League disruptors on Saturday as Nottingham Forest host Aston Villa at The City Ground in the 5:30pm kick-off.

Villa were last season's surprise package, breaking the Big Six's top-flight dominance by securing fourth place and pinching the final Champions League spot, but Forest have taken that crown through the initial months of 2024/25.

The Reds sit fifth, just two points back from fourth-place Man City, after beating Man Utd 3-2 at Old Trafford last weekend to collect their seventh league win in 15 games – a remarkable start for a side that were battling relegation last term.

They have Saturday's visitors hot on their tail, however. Villa are sixth, only behind Forest on goal difference, after ending their winless autumn run with consecutive victories over Brentford, Southampton and RB Leipzig.

The latter leaves them third in the Champions League table after six games, a remarkable return to Europe's premier club competition, and will mean they head across the Midlands full of confidence on Saturday.
