Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Luiz plays the corner low to McGinn who rushes towards the edge of the box but his shot is blocked. It was tame and would not have troubled Henderson.

Villa have a corner after Ramsey's low cross deflects off of Aurier.

Forest got the game started but it is Villa who have controlled the possession in the opening two minutes. However, they lose the ball after Young slashed a cross from the left out for a goal-kick.

Forest gets this Premier League clash underway.

In the Premier League, Nottingham Forest won just one of their 10 games against Aston Villa between 1992 and 1999 (D4 L5). In their one win against the Villans in October 1994, the referee was Keith Cooper, father of current Forest manager Steve.

As for Aston Villa, Steven Gerrard makes two alterations to the team that drew with Leeds at Elland Road. Out with an injury, Ludwig Augustinsson is replaced by Cash who starts against his former side. Leon Bailey, who was a doubt for the game, also does not make the squad. As a result, Buendia comes into the side and starts in attack alongside Watkins.
