Aston Villa team news and predicted XI vs Nottingham Forest

Aston Villa Team News

• Out: Philippe Coutinho, Matty Cash, Jed Steer
• Doubt: Boubacar Kamara

Villa boss Unai Emery is set to run with the same pack that is in the midst of enjoying one of the best recent runs of any side in the Premier League, with five wins and a draw across their last six league outings that now sees the club within touching distance of cracking into the top six under the experienced Spanish headmaster.

Emery will not have any additional headaches regarding team selection when Villa host Nottingham Forest, with Philippe Coutinho, Matty Cash, and Jed Steer all remaining sidelined with injury. Summer signing Boubacar Kamara is also a doubt for selection once again, but if he does pass fit in time, he likely will only find himself on the bench as a possible substitute.
