Albert Adomah is expected to miss Wednesday's clashes between Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.

The winger was eliminated from the derby against Birmingham on Sunday after being twisted ankle during a challenge and should be replaced by Yannick Bolasie for what would be a league's first game for the player on loan d & # 39; Everton.

Key midfielder John McGinn could return from a calf problem, but Henri Lansbury is expected to face another spell after falling just eight minutes after a substitute appearance this weekend with hamstring problems. Birkir Bjarnason and Mile Jedinak remain apart.

The boss of the forest, Aitor Karanka, must decide to change the winning team after Saturday's victory in Hull. Claudio Yacob replaced Adlene Guedioura in the Forest midfield and retained his place after an impressive performance.

In front, Daryl Murphy, who has cured a virus, and Karim Ansarifard come into conflict if Karanka decides to replace his players, while Ben Osborn and Arvin Appiah can also be taken into account. Danny Fox is close to fitness after a foot injury, but this match may well come too soon.

Prutton's prediction

What a match Sunday and what a huge victory for Aston Villa against its biggest rivals! The advantage of Dean Smith is three and it starts to look like a real threat to the first six.

Lewis Grabban and Joe Lolley are the most remarkable artists of the moment. Grabban would like to score on his return to Villa Park and it will be difficult to keep him at bay. Score draw for me.

Prutton predicts: 2-2 (14/1 with Sky Bet)
