Commentary

21'

The hosts have had a 62% share of possession so far, restricting Nottingham Forest's time on the ball. That won't be a major concern for Glasner, as his Crystal Palace side so often stung Aston Villa on the break.

19'

Villa skipper McGinn whips over a corner-kick from the right, but Sels is able to leap and punch it clear once again. The Belgian goalkeeper has enjoyed an excellent first half, having previously prevented an almost certain goal by Lindelof.

16'

Gibbs-White loops over a lofted free-kick from out wide on the right, and he successfully finds Diomande, who has peeled away into space. However, the latter's first-time attempt at a volleyed finish flies high over the crossbar.

14'

Suzuki fires a direct ball up towards Hemmings on the left, but narrowly fails to find his target. Before today's game, he ranked first for Premier League goalkeepers in terms of long passing accuracy this season (56.5% - 13/23).

12'

Forest win a free-kick midway through Villa's half, and it's taken short by McAtee. He combines with Gibbs-White to advance a few yards upfield before letting fly with a low mid-range attempt, but Suzuki is able to deal with it.

10'

McGinn curls in another corner - this time from the right - but Sels rises highest in the six-yard box and makes a firm punch away. At the moment, Nottingham Forest are struggling to get a foothold in this game.
