Forest wouldn't be able to get ahead of Arsenal unless we see any surprise. They don't even need to do that in the first place. Tongue

They are already in a great place in the PL. The 3rd place must be feeling like a dream for them.

Nuno Espírito Santo just found his team really. Things didn't go very well for him while he was at Tottenham you know. Anyway now if Liverpool win tomorrow the gap with Arsenal will be 14 points. So only 3 weeks will be enough for Liverpool to announce the title in that case...

Forest made a terrible mistake in their fixtures against Aston Villa whom was playing host in this one. Letting them get ahead of them with 2 goals so early in the first half was something that they would’ve found it easy to come from and they didn’t. With Aston Villa haven’t onboarded Marco Asensio on their team, players like Rashford whom is very familiar with the EPL and suddenly found form with Aston Villa, Woods being absent from Forest and Aina out to injury, the chances that Forest was going to make anything for themselves out of this match was almost zero. They might have gotten a consolation goal in the end but, that was about how far they could get.

This is what is sometimes difficult to understand in the EPL when there is a situation that can actually be maximized well for Nottingham even though they play away in this match but it does seem a little difficult to expect more especially their opponent is Aston Villa, which sometimes always becomes a stumbling block for big clubs so that from the beginning this has become difficult to predict.

I actually expect a draw in this match or if possible 3 points for Nottingham but in the end the power of playing at home provides a special spirit for Aston Villa in today's match. The location of Nottinham's mistake was actually at the beginning of the first half where they lacked focus, which actually backfired when they were 2 goals behind, which in turn had an impact on their performance because after being 2 goals behind, Nottingham's attack pattern although still quite good but they were too fast in terms of tempo which made the conditions not optimal.
