    Forest need a bit of steel and someone to break things up. Yates is club skipper, he is exactly what they need. He's the first one out and he's not even on the pitch yet and he's giving out instructions. He's a leader and that's what they need.

    Aston Villa have won all but one of the 12 previous home games in which they have led at half-time in all competitions this season, with that exception a 3-1 defeat by Newcastle in February.

    Forest need Sangare to strengthen the midfield to give Wood or Jesus a chance. And to stop messing on the ball in defence.

    It's been a good game. The energy has been great. The noise levels have been outstanding. Villa have just pipped it so far. Good quality, good energy and very well organised. We haven't seen Forest at their best yet, and Wood has been isolated, but we've still got time.

    Forest boss Vitor Pereira will be happy with the chance to give his team a bit of a reset now. They were getting pummelled.

    Youri Tielemans whips in a free-kick but Stefan Ortega plucks it out of the sky.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 45+3 mins

    Feels like the only time Forest players are getting near Villa is when they foul them. Jair Cunha is booked for a nasty foul on Emiliano Buendia.

    Poor pass from Emiliano Buendia this time as he tries to find Ollie Watkins on the edge of the box.

  15. Half-time in Germanypublished at 20:49 BST

    Freiburg 2-0 Braga (agg 3-2)

    Victor Gomez very nearly pulled a goal back for Braga, but the 26-year-old could only find the inside of the post after rounding Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu.

    Rodrigo Zalazar was first to the rebound, but his follow-up effort was blocked.

    That was the last action of the first half in Germany.

    Forest boss Vitor Pereira has been writing notes furiously on his notepad. Big half-time team talk for him.

    Four minutes added on. Think we all expected a bit more.

    Aston Villa are loading that midfield up with Lindelof, so Wood is having to drop back too and he is not having a lot of chance to stay up in the centre forward position out of possession. There's a lot of bodies in there and that is creating plenty of space on the wings.
