We've got one more game coming up after this one as Liverpool head to Luton. Team news for that will be released in around 30 minutes, but let's take a look at what we do know.

Hatters boss Rob Edwards has reported no new fitness concerns.

Amari'i Bell, Reece Burke, Mads Andersen, Dan Potts, Luke Berry, Jordan Clarke and Albert Sambi Lokonga are still unavailable.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Luis Diaz is continuing to train but is unsure if the winger is ready to play as he awaits news of his father, who has been kidnapped in Colombia.

Andy Robinson, Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic remain sidelined.

Outstanding performance [from Forest]. They just have to do it - not for 45, for 90 minutes.

Villa have nowhere near been good enough. You see Unai Emery, the frustration, I've not seen that all season, the way he's demanding his team to move the ball quicker and get forward. He might make a few changes at half-time.

A big test for Unai Emery now.

Aston Villa have won just one of their last 54 Premier League matches in which they went in at half-time 1-0 down (D8 L45).

Steve Cooper wanted a response from his team especially with the performances from the last few games.

The fans have played a massive part and have been excellent so far.

And that's the last action of the half as Nottingham Forest go into the break with the lead.

It is the first time since August they have led in the Premier League at half time.

Nottm Forest 1-0 Aston Villa

VAR check complete and no penalty against Harry Toffolo.

Now Aston Villa appeal for a penalty for a handball by Harry Toffolo from Lucas Digne's cross.

It is all happening in these final few seconds.

The original decision stands and the offside call is confirmed.

VAR is checking to see if Nicolás Domínguez was offside in the build up. It looks very tight...

Nottm Forest 1-0 Aston Villa

Taiwo Awoniyi goes down inside the box under a challenge, it looks like a penalty and the referee blows his whistle... but the offside flag is raised!

VAR will check the offside call though.

Ibrahim Sangaré does really well to get out of a spot of bother and then tries to release Taiwo Awoniyi, but the striker had just strayed offside.

Unai Emery will want to get his team in at half-time and try and maybe make a few tweaks and maybe make changes because it hasn't worked so far.

Villa have been excellent all season and you're going to have halves where it doesn't go your way. It's about how you respond in the second half.

Another good clearing header by Murillo to deal with another Aston Villa corner with two minutes to go before the break.

Excellent work by Ola Aina as he shows great persistence to win the ball on the right flank before cutting it back for Nicolás Domínguez, who drives well over.

Should have done better.

Nottingham Forest haven't attempted a shot on goal since the fifth minute and are a bit more subdued now after their fine start. I don't think a single goal will be enough as Villa will surely step it up after the break.

But now Aston Villa have a shot on target!

Ollie Watkins wins the ball in midfield and finds Moussa Diaby, who plays the ball into the box and Nicolò Zaniolo manages to get a shot on goal but Odysseas Vlachodimos saves at his near post.

Better from the visitors.

Villa need to move the ball quicker. What Forest are doing is getting back into their shape really quickly.

They're saying 'can Cash beat Toffolo and can Digne beat Aine?'

Good battles all over the pitch.

Aston Villa score goals for fun but, with almost 10 minutes to go until the break, they haven't managed a shot on target yet.

It's brilliant from Boubacar Kamara. Let's be honest Anthony Elanga is quick and when he's running at you one-on-one in that position. It's brilliant and he gets up and doesn't juts kick it up the field they play out.

It's outstanding - outstanding defending.
