Today's Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa live stream sees two English teams do battle for a place in the 2025/26 Europa League final. Both clubs have a rich history on the continent, winning the European Cup three times combined, but they have been starved of success in recent years and are chasing a first major trophy in several decades.

Villa need a maximum of five points from their final four domestic games to qualify for the Champions League via the Premier League, but they would also guarantee a place in the continent's top club competition next season by winning the Europa League. The Villans would love to do both, of course, as they hunt a first major trophy since 1996, while you have to go back to 1990 to find the last time Forest won notable silverware. Unai Emery's side could be viewed as marginal favourites, as they sit 11 places above tonight's opponents in the Premier League and took four points from their two domestic meetings this term.
