Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest – Premier League: Live score and updates as Villa hit visitors with double blow in the opening minutes

What a way to finish the day, eh?

In years gone by, Aston Villa hosting Nottingham Forest would just be another game, one that doesn’t mean too much.

I mean, it has a classic Saturday 3pm kick-off written all over it, with both sides not really challenging for too much in recent history. Just seven years ago, this was a Championship fixture.

Well, things have changed this season…

Nottingham Forest currently sit third and are just eight games from doing the unthinkable and qualifying for the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa are just three points off of fourth place and are fighting to qualify for Europe’s premier competition for the second season running.

So yeah, there is a lot on the line tonight.

Get yourselves strapped in, grab a drink of your choice, and enjoy what is going to be one hell of a ride.

Let’s pull the lever and get this one going.
