Emiliano Martinez - Recovers from early blunder Martinez gave up two goals but made four saves in Aston Villa's win over RB Leipzig Tuesday.
Impact Martinez was caught out of position on Leipzig's first goal as he attempted to stop a deep aerial ball. He did recover well with four saves, which proved to be crucial in a 3-2 win. Martinez now faces an inconsistent Nottingham Forest team which has been blanked in two games after the international break, but has four combined goals in the other two contests.

Peter Gulacsi - Gives up three goals Gulacsi made five saves, but conceded three goals in RB Leipzig's loss to Aston Villa Tuesday.
Impact Gulacsi gave up a late winner, adding to the sting of surrendering three goals. His job won't get much easier Sunday, as Eintracht Frankfurt has racked up 33 goals in Bundesliga action this season.

Ross Barkley - Nets winner off bench Barkley came on late in the second half, providing the winning goal in Aston Villa's 3-2 victory over RB Leipzig in Champions League play Tuesday.
Impact Barkley's inconsistent playing time makes him tough to roster from a fantasy standpoint but he does have brief moments of brilliance like he did Tuesday. Manager Unai Emery may give him more run Saturday against Nottingham Forest, especially if Ollie Watkins is unable to suit up due to an injury.

Lucas Digne - Maintains involvement in offense Digne had six crosses (three accurate) in Aston Villa's 3-2 win against RB Leipzig Tuesday.
Impact Digne only took one shot but showed promise as a secondary service man with six more crosses. He has 28 crosses (10 accurate) over the last three matches, so an assist should come soon. He'll need to keep this up against a tough Nottingham Forest defense for Aston Villa to be balanced in its attack.

Youri Tielemans - Assists in win Tielemans logged an assist in Aston Villa's 3-2 win over RB Leipzig in Champions League play Tuesday.
Impact Tielemans was Aston Villa's most effective point man, creating five chances on five crosses and three corner kicks. He'll need to turn in a similar outing Saturday if Villa want to get past a Nottingham Forest team which has only allowed 18 goals in 15 league games.

Jhon Duran - Scores shortly after coming on Duran came in for Ollie Watkins at the start of the second half, scoring shortly after in Aston Villa's 3-2 win over RB Leipzig.
Impact Duran made the most of his opportunity, finding the back of the net six minutes after coming on. He's got two goals in his last two appearances, and could be in for a larger role with Watkins picking up an injury in Tuesday's contest.

Ollie Watkins - Assists in first half Watkins assisted on Aston Villa's opening goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over RB Leipzig. He was subbed off at the start of the second half.
Impact Watkins did suffer an injury, though manager Unai Emery did not go into details on what occurred. Aston Villa will hope its star forward can be ready Saturday against Nottingham Forest. If Watkins is unavailable, Jhon Duran is likely to take his place in the starting lineup.
