Check out how to watch Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
A bumper weekend of Premier League action starts at Villa Park, where Aston Villa host Nottingham Forest on Saturday lunchtime.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back from their 4-1 defeat away at leaders Arsenal on Tuesday, which dented their hopes of a title challenge.
The loss at the Emirates brought an end to Aston Villa's 11-game winning streak and Unai Emery will be determined to ensure his team put things right at the earliest opportunity.
Nottingham Forest head across the Midlands, aiming to snap a three-game losing streak, which has them teetering just above the relegation zone.
The Reds are four points clear of the bottom three as things stand and will be looking nervously over their shoulders if they can't add to that soon.
