Watkins dropped

Among all of the chaos, team news dropped.

Nottingham Forest host Aston Villa at 5:30pm, with kick-off coming up very soon at the City Ground.

And the main storyline pre-match has been Ollie Watkins.

He’s been dropped this evening for Jhon Duran.

Watkins didn’t start last weekend either and was substituted at half-time for Duran in the Champions League in midweek.

Has he lost his first-choice strike role?

Aston Villa: Martinez, Konsa, Carlos, Mings, Digne, Kamara, McGinn, Tielemans, Rogers, Cash, Duran.

Subs: Olsen, Torres, Bogarde, Maatsen, Nedeljkovic, Onana, Barkley, Buendia, Watkins.

Nottingham Forest: Sels, Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams, Yates, Hudson-Odoi, Anderson, Gibbs-White, Dominguez, Wood.

Subs: Miguel, Morato, Awoniyi, Toffolo, Ward-Prowse, Silva, Elanga, Sosa, Boly.
