David Prutton is backing Aitor Karanka to make a winning start as Nottingham Forest’s new manager.
The two sides head into the game on the back of two very different results in the FA Cup last weekend.
Forest defeated Arsenal, while Villa crashed at home to Peterborough, and Prutton has tipped Kieran Dowell to grab the only goal of the game to pile even more pressure on visiting boss Steve Bruce (30/1 with Sky Bet).
“Once again the two former European champions meet in the second tier, which just goes to show the size of some of the clubs in the Sky Bet Championship these days,” he told Sky Sports.
