Nottingham Forest live updates as they face Aston Villa | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest visit Aston Villa this afternoon in the Premier League, seeking a first win of the campaign.

They drew 0-0 with Tottenham last weekend, when Neco Williams saw an effort ruled out for handball. Nottingham Post notes Oliver Glasner still has selection calls to make.

Forest have two points from three games and will hope Villa's midweek European workload helps at Villa Park. Kick-off is at 3pm.

The XI is Sels, Munoz, Diomande, Murillo, Aina, Schlager, McAtee, Williams, Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Delap. Bench: John, Sangare, Hudson-Odoi, Dominguez, Wood, Jesus, Kalimuendo, Yates, Netz. No Milenkovic or Jair.

Scoring remains an issue after successive blanks at the City Ground. Club-record signing Liam Delap, £45 million, is seen as key to sparking the attack and rediscovering the form that made him highly sought after little more than 12 months ago when he left Ipswich Town.

Forest had pursued him then, with interest across the Premier League, and Chelsea ultimately secured his signature, while Glasner had also admired him while at Crystal Palace. Villa Park has not been a happy hunting ground, though Glasner's influence might yet change that.
