Forest has lost five straight, three by multiple goals. But despite losing to Manchester City and Spurs, performances against wasn't awful.

They have zero points from their last three matches but created 3.9 xG and surrendered 3.2 xGA. Forest scored four goals in those games, but allowed 10 goals.

The offensive hasn't materialised for Aston Villa this season. The skill is there, but with each game I downgrade this offensive further.

In a win against Southampton two weeks ago, the goal came via a fluky deflection off the crossbar.

Last week, Villa played practically the whole second half with a man advantage against Leeds United and lost.

I hoped the attack would improve after that. Even today, Villa is 11th in predicted threat, thus this attack may not improve.
