I'd say the selection is very Emery / safety-first: no risks, no surprises.

Having spent much of the day on a Forest forum, that lineup is very good news for us. They were desperate for Jair Cunha to be fit and in for Morato, and Sangare to be fit and in for Dominguez.

Talk of there being no point them turning up if those two weren't available. Don't screw this up now.

They also only have 3-4 senior players on their bench. And one of them is Bakwa, who I remember being hilariously poor at the VP game

Ortega plays their European matches. And was excellent against Porto in the last round.

He'll score the winner and etch himself into Villa folklore.
