• Sports Mole previews Thursday's Europa League clash between Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
• Emery has insisted that Europa League glory this term is “very important” for his Aston Villa side, who are the competition’s highest scorers thus far with 24 goals, just one ahead of Nottingham Forest (23), while they also rank joint-first for clean sheets (seven, along with Braga).
• • Nottingham Forest host Aston Villa in a blockbuster all-Premier League semi-final in the Europa League's standout fixture this evening from 21:00 CET.

D'après Sports Mole, the Tricky Trees - European Cup winners in 1979 and 1980 under Brian Clough - failed to beat Aston Villa in both Premier League meetings earlier this season, but they will take comfort from a four-game unbeaten home run versus the Lions (W2 D2), most recently drawing 1-1 at the City Ground on April 12. Comme le souligne Sports Mole, after reaching the Conference League semi-finals in 2024 and the Champions League quarter-finals last season, Europa League favourites Aston Villa are hoping to progress to their first European final since beating Bayern Munich in the 1982 European Cup showpiece under Tony Barton.
