On a typically nervy afternoon on the Trent, one of the biggest cheers of the afternoon arrived in the seconds after the final whistle, news over the speakers that Tottenham were still trailing at Sunderland. For Nottingham Forest, a creditable draw against Aston Villa takes them another precious point towards Premier League safety, Neco Williams’s low strike cancelling out Murillo’s own goal; confirmation that Forest are now three clear of the relegation zone was greeted as warmly as one would expect. These teams could meet again at the end of the month in a Europa League semi-final but, for now, there are more pressing priorities. For the fourth successive season Villa left the City Ground without the full bounty and they wasted a series of chances to earn victory, Morgan Rogers skying a routine rebound from close range while Ollie Watkins also sent a shot sailing over the bar.

Ollie Watkins' second-half brace helped give Aston Villa a comfortable 3-1 lead over Bologna heading into next week's Europa League quarter-final second leg at Villa Park.
There was a heady atmosphere in Bologna before this match, with flags flying everywhere and the legend “weareone” plastered on the walls of the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. Into this fervent atmosphere stepped Aston Villa, with warnings against complacency from their manager ringing in their ears. The Premier League side did not play well and were second best for much of the night, but they did stay supremely cool and turned the nervous energy of their hosts back on them to take a two-goal lead home to Birmingham. Ezri Konsa opened the scoring after a gaffe by the goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia, before a second-half double from Ollie Watkins determined the outcome of the match and overwrote Jonathan Rowe’s late goal for the hosts. Bologna’s Englishman, a former Norwich City winger, was likely the man of the match, but Watkins’ ability to remain calm in pressured situations will surely prove the more decisive factor in this tie.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Aston Villa fan Lee Jackson and Fulham fan Lewis James to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of Sunday's GW6 meeting at Villa Park. And there's only one place to start, what is going on at Villa!? With only one goal scored, no wins, and Sunday's limp draw at ten man Sunderland the most recent result, an inquest is beginning in to what is going wrong for Villa. Meanwhile, Fulham have started well, they've won the last two at their only defeat, at Chelsea, was certainly controversial. Can Fulham add to Villa's woes on Sunday? Plus, do Villa assets need binning on mass, or should faith be kept in the likes of Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins for the upcoming home games against Fulham and Burnley?

Another dramatic weekend for FPL reviewed which included Mo Salah leaving it late again and Erling Haaland dominating in the Manchester Derby. But perhaps the biggest takeaway this weekend was for defensive assets, with half the teams keeping clean sheets and there will have been a full house for many who invested in defensive assets on Wildcards and Free Hits. All the games reviewed, including how much we shouyld read into Ange Postecoglu's opener with Forest in defeat at Arsenal, how Brentford and Chelsea switched tactics in an entertaining London Derby thta included a comeback goal for Cole Palmer, and the points went James' way in the Planet FPL Derby as Tottenham won comfortably at Suj's West Ham... but he didn't have the better of it when it came to points in FPL this week. Can Haaland really be avoided in GW6? Can faith still be kept in Aston Villa and Ollie Watkins? Plus, captaincy options for GW5 and lots more.
