John Victor starts in goal as Zach Abbott and Morato are drafted into defence in place of Nicolo Savona and Neco Williams. Ryan Yates captains the side with James Mc Atee, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Callum Hudson-Odoi also recalled with Morgan Gibbs-White, who was a doubt, not included. Nottingham Forest XI: Victor, Morato, Murillo, Milenkovic, Abbott, Sangare, Dominguez, Yates, Mc Atee, Hudson-Odoi, Kalimuendo Subs: Sels, Williams, Anderson, Jesus, Ndoye, Boly, Savona, Whitehall, Thompson, Sinclair Malmo, who finished sixth in the Swedish Allsvenskan, play their first game since their league ended on 9 November. Former Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen drops to the bench as Melker Ellborg starts, while ex-West Ham, Celtic and Stoke forward Sead Haksabanovic starts while former Chelsea forward Eidur Gudjonsen's son Daniel is up front. Malmo are second bottom of the 36-team Europa League table with a point from their opening four games. Malmo XI: Ellborg, Stryger, Djuric, Jansson, Rosler, Skogmar, Johnsen, Haksabanovic, Busanello, Gudjohnsen, Bolin. Subs: Olsen, Olsson, Karlsson, Ekong, Lewicki, Christiansen, Vecchia, Busuladzic, Botheim, Soumah, Berg, Lundbergh. Shelbourne are still goalless at AZ Alkmaar 10 minutes into the second half. That would be a pretty memorable point if they could hang on. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys The corner ends up going all the way back to Emiliano Martinez, who gets a rare bit of time on the ball today. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Donyell Malen beats Sergio Cordova and then wins a corner off the Young Boy. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Young Boys' Sandro Lauper chops down Morgan Rogers and gets himself a yellow card. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Robbie Savage Forest Green Rovers manager and former Premier League midfielder on TNT Sports I'm sure the likes of Rogers and Tielemans will be coming off about the 60 minute mark. There will be opportunities as well for players to come on and impress the manager. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys The second half is under way. Can Villa see out this win? Can Donyell Malen score a hat-trick? Can Young Boys fans behave themselves? HT: Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Thomas Hitzlsperger Former Aston Villa midfielder on TNT Sports I don't know where Donyell Malen's form has come from, but it has been so important for Aston Villa. Ollie Watkins hasn't been as strong up top recently so Malen stepping up is exactly what they need. His stats are looking more like my career stats now. Strasbourg vs Crystal Palace (20: 00 GMT) Strasbourg XI: Penders; Doue, Hogsberg, Sarr, Barco; Doukoure, El Mourabet; Moreira, Enciso, Nanasi; Emegha. Subs: Bajic, Kerckaert,

Cardines. HT: Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Villa had 10 shots, five on target. Young Boys had zero anything. HT: Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Robbie Savage Forest Green Rovers manager and former Premier League midfielder on TNT Sports Unai Emery will be happy that his side have been more ruthless in the final third. The two goals were good. A really comfortable first half for Aston Villa. Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say Just seen a seat back thrown from the Young Boys fans. Shocking behaviour and so unnecessary. Matt, Villa Park I really thought Villa had already dealt with their fair share of drama involving away fans in the Europa League this season. I guess not! Antony, Peterborough HT: Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Hopefully they can sort out that crowd trouble at half-time now. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys The half-time whistle goes with Donyell Malen's double the difference. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Tom Gayle BBC Radio 5 Live reporter Each Aston Villa goal has seen a hail of objects

being thrown from the away section onto the pitch. This led to clashes with the

police and stewards, with two people dressed head to toe in black being dragged

away in handcuffs by officers. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Villa almost add a third as two-goal Donyell Malen picks out Jadon Sancho, whose shot is blocked. Feyenoord 1-2 Celtic Celtic are halfway to a priceless victory in Rotterdam. You feared the worst for Martin O'Neill's side when Ayase Ueda gave Feyenoord an early lead, but goals from Yang Hyun-Jun and Reo Hatate have turned the game in Celtic's favour. After winning just one of their opening four Europa League games, Celtic really need the three points tonight. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Play is continuing but apparently there's more trouble in that away end. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys They've said there are four minutes of stoppage time but I don't think that's accurate really. For one thing we're into 45+3 now - and the goal was scored in 42. And no football was played between those times. Aston Villa 2-0 Young Boys Play is finally back under way. Last Updated 27th November 2025 at 18: 59 Please Note: All times UK.

Young Boys have failed to win on any of their six European visits to England (D2 L4), only avoiding defeat in draws with Liverpool (2-2 in UEFA Europa League, November 2012) and Man Utd (1-1 in UEFA Champions League, December 2021). Aston Villa have won all five of their home European matches in 2025 (x3 in the UEFA Champions League, x2 in the Europa League) - since the start of 2023-24, they've won more home major European matches than any other club (12 in 14 games). Young Boys have conceded the most of any side in the UEFA Europa League this season (10), while since the start of 2024-25 they've shipped 34 goals in 12 major European matches (also in 24 in the Champions League) - more than anyone else. Donyell Malen has scored 10 goals in 18 UEFA Europa League appearances (8 in 12 for PSV, 1 in 2 for Borussia Dortmund, 1 in 4 for Aston Villa), although he's yet to assist a goal in the competition. Since 2009-10, the only players with more goals in the competition without assisting are Youssef En-Nesyri and Fernando Torres (12 each). Copyright © 2025 BBC.
