Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa full squads and team news

Nottingham Forest should have no fresh injury concerns heading into tonight's Premier League clash against Aston Villa.

Steve Cooper's men host Villa at the City Ground in an 8pm kick-off and will be without three players for the match. Forest will be looking to climb off the foot of the Premier League table with a second win of the season. Three points would see them leapfrog Midlands rivals Leicester City and Wolves into 18th.

Jack Colback (back), Moussa Niakhate (groin) and Omar Richards (leg) are the three players who remain out, with no new injuries heading into the match. Aston Villa will have Matty Cash and Calum Chambers available for the trip up the M42 after both returned to training this week.
