Aston Villa Gear Up For Psg Champions League Trip With Win Over Nottingham Forest

Aston Villa climbed into the Premier League 's top six as early goals from Morgan Rogers and Donyell Malen secured a 2-1 win over third-placed Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

A seventh consecutive victory for Unai Emery's men in all competitions sets up Villa perfectly for Wednesday's trip to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Villa's hot streak has also brought them well into the race for Champions League football next season.

A top-five Premier League finish will almost certainly be enough to qualify thanks to the strong performance of English sides in European competition this season.

Villa sit below fifth-placed Manchester City only on goal difference and moved to within one point of Chelsea in fourth.
