Let's start this Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest in the Premier League with the formation that Unai Emery is likely to pick. He keeps changing his formation but our prediction is he might go for a 4-2-3-1 formation with Emiliano Martinez in goal.

In the defence of Aston Villa, Emery will start Matty Cash as the right-back. For the centre-back position, Pau Torres will surely start and as his partner, Emery will choose the Frenchman and Barcelona loanee, Clement Lenglet. Spaniard Alex Moreno will be playing this game as the left-back.

As far as the midfield for Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest goes, the Spanish manager will start Douglas Luiz as the defensive midfielder. Injury Kamara means Youri Tielemans will be slotted in as his partner in the defensive midfield position with John McGinn taking up the role of an attacking midfielder.

When it comes to the attack for Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest, Unai Emery will trust the 22-year-old Jacob Murphy who has been sensational this season so far to play from the left. The English international Ollie Watkins will start this game as the striker for Villans. And, Jamaican international Leon Bailey will operate from the right in this game.

Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest: (4-2-3-1) Martinez, Cash, Torres, Lenglet, Moreno; Luiz, Tielemans, McGinn; Ramsey, Watkins, Bailey.
