A Nottingham Forest side seeking to snap a six-game winless streak host an Aston Villa crop on the hunt for a fourth successive victory at the City Ground on Sunday.
The Tricky Trees fell to a 3-0 loss to Liverpool in their most recent Premier League affair, while Unai Emery's team continued their magnificent home run by seeing off Luton Town 3-1.
Diogo Jota and the whole of Anfield expressed their support for Diaz when the former opened the scoring and held up his teammate's jersey, which came four minutes before a Darwin Nunez tap-in, and a rush of blood to the head from Matt Turner allowed Mohamed Salah to tap home into an empty net in the dying embers.
With no EFL Cup commitments to attend to in midweek, Steve Cooper and his off-colour Forest squad have had ample time to come up with a solution to their winless woes, having played out four draws and two defeats since coming away from Chelsea with a surprise 1-0 win at the start of September.
Thanks to their double-figure points total, the 16th-placed Tricky Trees boast an unassailable lead over their fellow relegation candidates for the time being, and home is certainly where the heart is for Cooper's troops if recent results are anything to go by.
