Match Facts
Aston Villa have lost just one of their last 14 home league games against Nottingham Forest (W7 D6) and are unbeaten in seven since a 2-0 loss in October 1994.
Following their 2-0 win at the City Ground in November, Nottingham Forest are looking to complete their first league double over Aston Villa since 1984-85.
Following a 17-game unbeaten home run in the Premier League – 16 of which were victories – Aston Villa have now lost their last two at Villa Park. They last lost three in a row in November 2020 under Dean Smith.
Aston Villa have only failed to score in three of their 25 Premier League games this season, though one of those was the reverse fixture against Nottingham Forest. At home, they’ve scored in each of their last 26 at Villa Park, their longest such run in the top-flight since a run of 33 between May 1982 and December 1983.
Nottingham Forest have lost 21 of their 23 Premier League away games against sides starting the day in the top four of the table, including each of the last 15 in a row. The only exceptions were a 2-1 victory at Manchester United in December 1994, and a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa in September 1995.
Nottingham Forest have scored in all eight of their Premier League games under Nuno Espírito Santo, netting 15 goals in total (1.9 per game). It’s just two fewer goals than they scored in 17 league games under Steve Cooper this season.
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has won just one of his six meetings with Nottingham Forest’s Nuno Espírito Santo (D3 L2), with his Sevilla side beating Valencia 1-0 in November 2015. He’s winless in all three Premier League meetings with the Portuguese (D2 L1).
Ollie Watkins has been involved in 23 Premier League goals this season, scoring 13 and assisting 10. Only Dwight Yorke in 1995-96 (27) has ever been involved in more for Aston Villa in a single Premier League campaign.
Anthony Elanga has been involved in six goals in his last six Premier League starts, scoring two and assisting four. His 12 goal involvements overall this season (5 goals, 7 assists) is the most by a Nottingham Forest player while aged 21 and under in the competition’s history.
14 of Taiwo Awoniyi’s 16 Premier League goals have been Nottingham Forest’s first goal of the match, with 11 of those being the first goal in the game overall. His other two goals were in games in which he scored a brace.
