Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
For week 16 he takes on darts star Stephen Bunting, who is a Liverpool fan.
Bunting, who is ranked eighth in the Professional Darts Championship (PDC) order of merit, takes on Alan Soutar or Kai Gotthardt in the second round of the PDC World Championship, which starts at London's Alexandra Palace on Sunday.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
This is fifth versus sixth, and I am expecting it to be close.
Aston Villa have found some form again recently, but this is another test of their squad after a Champions League game in midweek, something they have struggled with previously.
I tend to back Nottingham Forest when they are at home but they seem just as good on their travels these days, maybe because they like to play on the counter-attack.
I don't think they will lose this but I don't want to back against Villa either, so a draw seems like the most likely outcome, doesn't it?
Bunting's prediction: 2-2
This game has got draw written all over it as well.
After difficulties on and off the pitch last season, Nuno Espirito Santo has lifted Nottingham Forest to unexpected heights this campaign. On the other side of the pitch, it had been a tough few weeks for Aston Villa but three consecutive wins suggests Unai Emery's side may have turned a corner.
Their respective form sets up an intriguing Midlands derby at the City Ground on Saturday.
While the two sides go head to head on the pitch, we asked our fan writers for each club to go head to head off it.
They both to ask three questions of each other before the big game...

How far do you think Nottingham Forest can go this season?
Momentum surrounding our club is extremely high at the moment, given our recent well-deserved victory at Old Trafford. Off the back of a few recent sore defeats, bouncing up to fifth brings a great sense of hope, especially with Chris Wood in exceptional form.
We are undeniably clear of relegation, so setting our sights on a top-half finish feels reasonable. For our third consecutive season in the Premier League, the improvements are more than promising.
With the form of so many of your players, how worried are you about losing the likes of Morgan Gibbs-white, Murrilo, Callum Hudson-Odoi?
As long as we were to make good money on those players, I have full confidence in the current recruitment team bringing in worthy replacements.
At present, we have depth at centre-half with Morato and Andrew Omabamidele, as well as Elliot Anderson in midfield. Provided our strong form continues, those in our starting line-up would be unlikely to want to leave and, even if they did, we would appeal to any potential new signings.
After a difficult spell managing Tottenham and the great job that Steve Cooper did, how much credit do you give Nuno Espirito Santo for what he's achieved at Forest?
Beating Liverpool and Manchester United away in the very same season is no small feat and, up until now, was unheard of for our club.
Nuno's capabilities are clear and the team culture he has built is incredibly special this season. His backroom staff also deserve a lot of credit - who, interestingly, were not allowed with him during his time at Spurs.
We have a lot to praise him for both on and off the pitch, as witnessed through his community work. Right now we're flying - mainly thanks to him.

What do you make of your away form this season, and do you feel your Champions League run has impacted this?
Our away form started very well with wins at West Ham, Leicester and Fulham, however, defeats at Tottenham and Liverpool, while tough places to go, did bring us back down to earth.
This Saturday against Forest presents another tough test and, while our results after Champions League games have been patchy, I would put it down to player performance rather than the European hangover.
With Ollie Watkins recently on the bench against Southampton, how much of an impact do you think Jhon Duran could make if he were to start instead?
It is a difficult one because Ollie Watkins does so much work for the team, but Duran is a brilliant finisher and plays with so much freedom.
At the moment, I would say Watkins just shades it, but what a combination of strikers to have.
What areas of your team do you think will play to Forest's strengths in this match?
Our defence has been an issue for us this season, with only two clean sheets in the Premier League.
We have been susceptible to teams who like to break quickly and, with the speed that Forest possess in the likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi, Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga, that will certainly cause Villa problems on Saturday.
Hopefully not too many though!

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest (kick-off 17:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On team news: "We are going to train today in the evening. After that training session we are going to decide how the players are. We trained yesterday but it was a recovery day and some players rested. We are going to try to train and to know how we are after four matches in a few days."
On Ollie Watkins: "I don't know because we are waiting. Yesterday, he was recovering. If he is training normally and feeling good, he's going to be available."
On the mentality of his team and squad rotations: "I want to play the best players. I want them to play 100% in every competition - not decide between one competition or another. This is my mentality and this is the mentality I want of the players. The rotation is something we need because some players have a small chance of injuries, or they are more tired than normal. But I always try to decide the best players with 100% full mentality to play."
On Nottingham Forest: "Forest are always a respectful team for us. They are our rival because they are on the same points. They are doing an amazing job this season. Last year we played in different circumstances - we lost and I know how many difficulties we will have against them."
He added: "We will try to play with the best players we have. The best players will be more or less full in everything, [including] energy."
On Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo: "Now I think that I can see Nottingham Forest with his face and identity. It's always very competitive. As a coach I played against him in Spain and in the Premier League, with Wolves and Arsenal. The matches we played were very difficult for us. His experience is very important, even in Europe."

Image source, Getty ImagesAston Villa striker Jhon Duran has done "everything he can" to try and get a starting spot ahead of Ollie Watkins, says former defender Curtis Davies.
Duran once again demonstrated his scoring prowess from the bench on Tuesday night when he scored his 10th goal of the season with Villa's second against RB Leipzig.
It was the third time the 21-year-old has found the net in the Champions League, while regular starting forward Ollie Watkins has yet to get off the mark.
"Ollie Watkins is a brilliant footballer and has done brilliantly - but Villa are now a Champions League football club, a team that want to be near the top of the league," David told BBC Radio WM. "There needs to be competition for places.
"Now, if Watkins is the automatic number one, then that causes a problem for Duran, because he was on the verge of leaving in the summer – albeit a certain club didn't want to pay the right amount of money for him – and he stayed.
"He's pulled up trees to do everything he can to show how good he is. So, there comes a time when he needs to get the nod.
"I know he's young, I know he's developing, and I understand that Watkins is so important for the team, especially in the way they do things defensively as well as the attacking side. But I'd say Jhon Duran is more than due a start. Even if, for the moment with the injuries that Villa have got, Ollie Watkins moves to the wing - that could be an option to maybe keep both happy."

Image source, Getty ImagesStrikers like to feel like they are number one and have the full trust of the manager. That is what Ollie Watkins had last season from Unai Emery.
Watkins was scoring a lot of goals, which in turn boosted his confidence and performance levels - but Jhon Duran was not really around then.
Duran, who does not like to be labelled a 'super-sub' but sort of is, is now a little bit of competition for him and perhaps that has unsettled Watkins slightly.
Every time Duran comes on he seems to have an impact and he did it again against RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday.
It is difficult to fit them both into the system. They both have different qualities and if you compare the two, it will come down to their all-round performances.
Watkins' work rate and all-round game is probably the best, but Duran has scored the most goals from outside of the box. If Duran is to become Villa's first choice striker then he needs to improve his game out of possession because it is not just about scoring goals.
Duran is only 20 years old and he will want more minutes. Given his performances I am sure there will be other offers coming in from other clubs at the end of the season.
The club will then have to decide what they are going to do because he will be ambitious and he will want the game time moving forward.
