25' Aston Villa FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nicolo Zaniolo made 527 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

40' The home supporters are growing impatient. Nottingham Forest FC must find a spark to ignite this game.

82' Another change for Nottingham Forest FC made on 82 minute. Taiwo Awoniyi leaves to be changed by Danilo dos Santos de Oliveira.
