Forest Focus

Nottingham Forest brilliantly beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge despite making eight changes as Vitor Pereira protected players for Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg against Aston Villa, who lost 2-1 to Spurs on Sunday night after putting in a terrible performance. There was no repeat from Forest's second string though as Taiwo Awoniyi scored twice and Igor Jesus scored a penalty. The win did come at a cost though as Zach Abbott and Morgan Gibbs-White went off with head injuries, with Abbott clearly concussed.

Nottingham Forest take on Aston Villa as they return to Premier League action at the City Ground on Sunday. Matt Davies is joined by Villa fan Steve Farmer to discuss Villa's recent form, which has generally been poor. However, the return of key men John McGinn and Youri Tielemans could make a big difference. We also discuss a predicted XI, the possibility of a Europa League semi-final between the clubs and some possible common ground over fan experience in Europe #nffc #nottinghamforest 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.

Nottingham Forest returned to action after two and a half weeks when they drew 1-1 with Porto in their Europa League quarter-final first leg. Porto opened the scoring early on before Martim Fernandes scored a freak own goal. Igor Jesus also had a goal controversially ruled out. We discuss the game in full as Matt Davies is joined by Chris Aylmer, Mark Sutherns and Simon Fotheringham. #nffc #nottinghamforest 🙏 Do like and subscribe to our channel.
