PENALTY: Lucas Digne gives away a penalty after holding his hands up in the box, blocking Omari Hutchinson's cross. Nottingham Forest 0-0 #AVFC

VAR checking potential penalty. Digne has his hands up, thinking the ball is going out of play, but Hutchinson wraps his leg around in time and hits Digne's hand. Given what we've seen this week, it could well be one (if the ball wasn't already out). #AVFC

#AVFC and Rogers fancy their chances against Morato. He's received the ball 1v1 against him five times and is satying exclusively in that position. He does it again and finds Watkins, but his shot from close range is at Ortega - big chance.

Villa got 54 minutes out of Onana, but may have hurt himself more in the process. He and #AVFC wanted him fit for this game and to push through the pain barrier. Was really good in the first half - important Bogarde attunes straight away, but it's a tough match to come into

Onana just pulled up and is limping gingerly after that defensive header. Gestured towards the bench to come off. Lamare Bogarde is coming on. #AVFC

Buendia takes up some excellent positions, but either doesn't get the ball or doesn't make the most of them when he does. #AVFC bench unhappy with Forest's treatment of Watkins

HT: It's level at the break thanks to Emi Martinez's stunning save, which denied Igor Jesus what would have been the opening goal. Villa settled quickly but haven't created any clear goalscoring opportunities. Nottingham Forest 0-0 #AVFC

HT: Nottingham Forest 0-0 #AVFC A brilliant Martinez save ensures it's goalless, but a robust contest. Emery will be happy with approach - Villa do look good when they build from the back & play through the lines. Need to manage wide areas defensively

A brilliant, strong hand from Martinez to deny Jesus. He celebrates with the away fans behind him. He made an outrageous, clawing save here two seasons ago, somehow stopping it from going over the line. He's done similar, here. #AVFC
