Kenneth FoxSoccerAston Villa have beaten Nottingham Forest 3-1 in the Premier League. Goals from Ollie Watkins and John McGinn put the hosts in front, but Morgan Gibbs-White pulled one back for Forest in the second half. A second goal from McGinn put the contest to bed and means for the moment, Villa are second in the Premier League table. The Gunners make the trip to Bournemouth without the services of Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera - that gets underway at 5:30pm. RugbyLeinster and Connacht go head-to-head in a URC interpro derby at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday evening.
