Nobody saw that 5-5 coming as Aston Villa tied the score with Nottingham Forest at home. However, Villa will now take on a predictable Tony Pulis Middlesbrough side - and Villa can’t really afford to leave this one with a loss.

Boro are a well-oiled machine and are the premier defence in the Championship. Can Villa break them down?
