Aston Villa face tough test at home to Nottingham Forest

Aston Villa host Nottingham Forest on Wednesday aiming to continue their march up the Championship table.

Sunday’s 4-2 victory over Birmingham City moved them up to 9th in the standings, just four points adrift of the top six. Forest are currently 7th, three points ahead of Villa.

The home side could welcome back John McGinn to the starting XI. The midfielder missed Sunday’s game with a calf strain.

Sky Sports‘ pundit David Prutton believes Wednesday’s clash will be an entertaining affair and has backed the two sides to fight out a 2-2 draw (14/1 with Sky Bet).
