Nottingham Forest will host Aston Villa at the City Ground in Matchday 32 of the Premier League.

Last week, Nottingham Forest secured a crucial victory in their fight for survival. They surprisingly crushed Tottenham Hotspur away from home, which helped them move three points clear of the relegation zone and slightly ease the pressure.

Aston Villa also picked up an important win, beating West Ham and strengthening their position in fourth place. The gap to fifth is now five points, and this result helped the Birmingham side recover after a difficult run of three consecutive defeats.
