Having lost their last five league games, newly promoted Nottm Forest must change their fortunes if they want to avoid a quick return to the Championship. With manager Steve Cooper this week having talks with the club's owners and narrowly keeping his job, he will need some of the big-money summer signings such as Morgan Gibbs-White to start justifying their price tags. Forest’s sole win this season came against West Ham at The City Ground and they will need another terrific home atmosphere against a team that also plays in claret and blue this weekend.
Steven Gerrard is another manager facing increased scrutiny. Having been appointed Villa manager almost a year ago, his reign is still yet to really get going. A win on Monday night would be a great platform to kickstart their season and see the Villains move up from their current 14th position. Gerrard needs to get the best out of his key attackers like Philippe Coutinho and Ollie Watkins who have had disappointing starts to the season while hoping young midfielder Jacob Ramsey can continue with his promising form.
Villa have found goals hard to come by recently and have only scored more than one goal once this season — against Everton in August, but conversely Forest have just one clean sheet, so surely something has to give either way. If both teams continue to struggle this could prove a big fixture in deciding who gets relegated this season and will likely be a very tense match for both sets of supporters.
