Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest Live Streaming, Start Time, TV Channels Info: Premier League

Two teams in the bottom half of the table go face to face on Saturday, as Aston Villa welcome Nottingham Forest at Villa Park. Both teams are yet to win their first game of the season, which makes this fixture even more interesting, as one can expect that either of them will finally open their account.

The two teams are meeting each other for the first time since their Europa League semifinal clash last season, where the Villans won 4-1, ultimately going on to win the title.

Aston Villa are yet to score in the Premier League this season, having conceded 4 against Brighton & Hove Albion on the first matchday, followed by a 1-0 loss to Arsenal and a goalless stalemate against newly promoted Hull City.

Unai Emery would be wary of repeating the same fate as last season, when they couldn't find the back of the net for the first four matches in the league. This would be a record in itself, for not scoring in four successive games at the beginning of the league campaign for two seasons running.

However, their 3-2 win over Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League opener might have provided them a hint of confidence ahead of this clash against Oliver Glasner's men, who aren't doing too well either.

Similarly, Nottingham Forest have failed to win their first three games of the season under new manager Oliver Glasner, which is the first time in the club's history. They lost in back-to-back games against Leeds United in the league and the EFL Carabao Cup, followed by a 2-2 and a 0-0 draw against Liverpool and Tottenham, respectively.

Glasner is now winless in his last 10 games in the Premier League, but has a strong personal record against Emery. The Austrian, while in charge of Crystal Palace, never lost to Emery in the league, picking up 12 points from a possible 15.

However, the overall head-to-head record favours the Villans in this fixture. They have won each of their last six home games against the Tricky Trees, and are on the verge of equalling the record of seven defeats, the most they have won in straight home matches, against Forest's rivals Derby County.

Nottingham Forest have won three, drawn six, and lost nine of their last 18 meetings in the league with the Villans; therefore, they need to buckle up immediately in order to avoid a record 10th defeat.
