Aston Villa host Nottingham Forest at Villa Park, with the two teams fighting at very different ends of the Premier League table. Villa sit fourth and are still pushing for a Champions League place, despite some uneven recent form, while Forest find themselves in a relegation battle - though beating West Ham last time out eases some of those fears.

After a short pause in proceedings while Bailey receives attention, the action resumes. We've had six goals so far, but it feels like there could well be more to come during the closing stages - it's wide open now.

Slipping at the crucial moment, Hudson-Odoi sends his attempted shot from the edge of Villa's box flying high over the crossbar. It was industrious work from Williams on the right that opened up the opportunity.

Origi is caught offside, but the Belgian striker has certainly helped his team start turning this game around. They've built some momentum now, having been on the back foot for most of the first half.

OFF THE POST! Tielemans strikes the upright! Sels was well beaten, but the Belgian's shot cannons back off the left-hand post! Moreno wriggled through two challenges to set up the strike from 15 yards, but Tielemans couldn't quite steer it home! What a start to this second half!
Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest
MISS! Nottingham Forest should be back on level terms! Elanga is played through by Origi, who has made quite an impact since arriving from the bench, but he drags his low shot well wide of the left-hand post, with Martinez left totally exposed by Villa's defence! What an escape for the home side - they're going to pieces!
