Unai Emery spoke to members of the media at his pre-match press conference on Good Friday.
The Aston Villa head coach was quizzed on his side’s fine form, his team news for Saturday’s game and much more.
Here’s what he had to say…
On team news…

“He (Boubacar Kamara) is not available, we are waiting on how he is going with his progress.
“His injury is usually more or less 10 days or two weeks. He is not going to play tomorrow. Philippe Coutinho and Matty Cash are both still injured.
“The same as with Kamara, different injuries, but they are more or less 10 days or two weeks (before we’re) thinking they will come back.”
On Villa’s ambitions this season…

“We have to be very demanding but also responsible with our words. We’re excited about the possibility to be in a better position.
“We are in the top ten but from now until the end of the season, we have to be consistent because in the next step to get European positions we are fighting Chelsea, Liverpool, Brighton, Brentford.
“They are teams, Brighton and Brentford, playing magnificent seasons. Chelsea and Liverpool are out of their normal positions but they will be looking to get minimum Europa League or Conference League.
“We are in there but we know we have to be very consistent, competing better than we are doing at home. The last two home matches we won and we improved, but not enough in my idea.
“We have to be demanding of ourselves and critique our matches, looking at the good things and critiquing the circumstances, tactically, which we have to improve.
“Tomorrow, that’s my first idea. I’m very excited, like our supporters, to play at home and try to show our best with the team transmitting to them good energy, good control of the game.
“My message to the supporters is we have to be together because it’s going to be difficult to have the position we have now and get up into the European positions.”
On Bertrand Traore…

“When I saw him here recovering after an injury he had in Turkey, I asked about his situation because we were missing a right winger.
“We were working with a talented young player we have in our Academy, Kadan Young, but he is 17-years-old.
“I knew of his good performances in France and then when he came here I was aware that he played very well in his first season. The last year, for different circumstances, he and the club decided he could go to Turkey.
“I spoke with him and he was very committed about the possibility of staying here with us. I told him we needed one player with his qualities in the squad.
“The players like him a lot and he’s very appreciated by the squad. We won on Tuesday and everyone was happy but tomorrow I want the best of him.
“In the last nine matches we’re going to play, I want the best of him.”
On Nottingham Forest…

“We have to adapt and respect them, and we are doing it. We have to know how they’re going to play tomorrow and we’re analysing the matches they’ve played, like against Leeds.
“Sometimes they are playing with a striker, sometimes not. We have to adapt and we have to see tomorrow, immediately, how they are responding on the pitch.
“We have to impose our idea and be on the pitch with good positioning, trying to control the game in our style. That’s the improvement I want to see tomorrow.”
