Villa vs Forest is a big game on Saturday late afternoon.

 

A draw would likely be best, but who would you prefer to win if there had to be a winner? We don't play until the Monday, so not really a case of depending what we do etc.

Forest. Easily. 
 

Every team directly below us needs to lose every week they can.  
 

Villa’s hardest games are us (H), Forest (H), City (A).

Obviously a later Palace equaliser, but that's still a decent result from our perspective. Palace are in great form and most would have thought they would win comfortably there. Had we slipped up and drew tonight and they won, it would have only been 6 points in it, minimal goal difference (if you take 1 off us and add 2 or 3 to them) and still have to play them, so a chance they could have gone within 3 points, but as it is, 10 points feels too much with only 9 matches left.

On the other hand, if Forest did lose then we would be 7 behind with 2 games in hand, so a chance to go within one game of them with 4 or 6 points from those games in hand, and would keep them more in reach, but with that said, since 5th is as good as 3rd in our situation and Chelsea the main threat at this stage, it probably is better to let Forest go and concentrate on the others, especially with them beating both of the Manchesters recently.

 

Obviously the likes of Fulham and Bournemouth could become 'easier' on paper as the season progresses and they have less to play for and it fizzles out, but they are still fairly tough matches for Villa and we only took 1 point from those 4 fixtures.
