Forest U21s make the trip to Aston Villa's Bodymoor Heath Training Ground in a return to Premier League 2 Division 2 action this evening, kick-off 7pm.
Our young Reds have won their last three matches following 1-0 triumphs against Sunderland and Derby County before beating Stoke City 4-1 last time out.
Forest currently sit 7th in the league table, four points ahead of The Villans heading into tonight's clash.
"We know it will be a difficult game because Villa have some quality players," said U21 Coach Dave Rogers.
"They've had a tough run of form over the last few weeks but they'll be looking for a response this evening so we have to stand up to the challenge.
"But we're in good form ourselves and we feel we're really starting to settle into the season now after a difficult start of our own.
"Tonight gives us another chance to continue building towards where we want to get to and that will only come with consistency in our performance levels, attitude and results."
