Forest Focus

Nottingham Forest have a slight edge in their Europa League semi-final against Aston Villa after Chris Wood's penalty gave them a 1-0 at the City Ground. We reflect on the game and react to Villa's complaints that Elliot Anderson should have been sent off for his tackle on Ollie Watkins.

We also preview the Premier League game at Chelsea as Forest look for the win which could secure their top flight future on a weekend when Leeds United host Burnley, West Ham go to Brentford and Spurs face Villa. Matt Davies is joined by Emily Williamson, Matt Davies-Adams and Mikey Clarke. #nffc #nottinghamforest
