For Villa this is not only a must win game but also a game where we should be looking to improve our goal difference which is the worst in the chase for Europe. Could make a difference at the end of the season. (Sorry Saints fans...)

The onus is on Forest to try and make something happen and win the game.

Watching Forest the last few weeks has given me a sense of dread. Got a bad feeling we are going to capitulate and the wheels are going to come off. Europe without Champions League would be a death knell for us. Am I crazy to think we could go down next year if that happens?

Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on Final Score
If it does get given it is a soft penalty. It happens every game, it is a little shirt pull. However per the laws of the game it is a penalty.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Everton
Is this a taste of things to come?
At last, excitement at both ends of the pitch.
After Callum Hudson-Odoi forces a save at one end after being picked out by Elliot Anderson, Iliman Ndiaye is denied by Matz Sels after an Everton counter.
Brighton 1-1 Leicester
Once again, Darren Bond jogs to the monitor to see if Brighton are getting a penalty. They should do.
Brighton 1-1 Leicester
Leicester have conceded one penalty today and may concede another here as Luke Thomas has his hands on Matt O'Riley's shirt with a clear shirt pull.
We go to VAR.
Southampton 0-0 Aston Villa
Oh Marcus, that is brilliant.
Rashford nutmegs Archer, gets to the byline and puts a fizzed ball across the box but nobody can get on the end of it.

Brighton are pushing to retake the lead, but Matt O'Riley is denied by Mads Hermansen. O'Riley's shirt was being pulled when he took the shot, but Leicester escape.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Everton

Don't see it being a goal-fest in the second half. One goal from either side will probably win this one.
Who can take the opportunity that falls their way?
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Everton
No offence to Everton who have actually played well but this has been a 3/10 game in terms of excitement.
Southampton 0-0 Aston Villa
Villa, of course, were in Champions League action in midweek.
Their Premier League record following Champions League matches this season is patchy at best.
Emery's side have won two of their nine fixtures following a Champions League fixture, while four of their eight league defeats have come after playing in Europe.

Former Aston Villa and Liverpool defender on Final Score
Murillo just went up for a header with idrissa Gueye and when he came down he landed on Gueye's shoulder and jolted his own. We were nervous because it was an awkward fall but he's back on his feet.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Everton
Murillo is indeed going to carry on...for now.
Brighton 1-1 Leicester
Danny Welbeck's free-kick 25 yards out doesn't make its way past the Leicester wall.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Everton
Leon Osman
Former Everton and England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
Nottingham Forest need to take the sloppy passes out and yes, they don't want to be opened up but against a team that are quite similar, but they need to go for it.
Three points could be huge for Nottingham Forest and they have got to go and try and get them.

Play is stopped after Murillo goes down with a shoulder injury. The Brazilian looks in a fair bit of discomfort and he's been given a couple of tablets to ease the pain. Will he carry on?
Image source, Getty ImagesBrighton 1-1 Leicester
A free-kick to Brighton just outside the penalty area. Good chance this.
Southampton 0-0 Aston Villa
Better from Villa.
Southampton sit off Amadou Onana so the midfielder lets fly from 25 yards and forces Ramsdale into a good save.
Brighton 1-1 Leicester
Finally back under way at Brighton. Can the hosts get the win to push closer to European football?
