Ola Aina (Nottingham Forest) vs Aston Villa
Aina has been one of the most consistent players in the Premier League this season, one of several key features of Nottingham Forest’s remarkable rise into the Champions League places as the season draws to a close.
However, the full-back may be ruled out of Forest’s clash with Aston Villa after picking up an injury against Manchester United last time out.
Taiwo Awoniyi (Nottingham Forest) vs Aston Villa
Another Nottingham Forest star, Awoniyi has often played second fiddle to Chris Wood this season, but the striker is set to be in the first team for the foreseeable future due to Wood’s injury.
The striker has struggled for goals this season, with two in 28 games, but he has a strong track record of scoring in his career, and his physicality should cause Aston Villa problems on Saturday.
Samuel Chukwueze (Milan) vs Fiorentina
Chukwueze may not have been a consistent starter since joining Milan in the summer of 2023, but the winger has shown that he can make an impact on the side throughout his time in Italy.
While he may not start against Fiorentina on Saturday, the winger will aim to make an impact from the bench as Milan look to push into the top six of the Serie A table.

Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen) vs Heidenheim
Boniface is having another strong season for Leverkusen as, despite several injury issues, the striker has scored 11 goals in 24 appearances for the German club.
While the striker may start from the bench against Heidenheim, he will certainly be aiming to continue his goalscoring form with another one on Saturday, aiming to help Leverkusen close the gap on league leaders Bayern Munich.
Nathan Tella (Bayer Leverkusen) vs Heidenheim
Tella has been used as an impact substitute on plenty of occasions for Bayer Leverkusen since joining in 2023, and the winger has often shown his ability when coming onto the pitch, including four goals and three assists this term.
Umar Sadiq (Valencia) vs Real Madrid
Sadiq has hit form since joining Valencia on loan from Real Sociedad in January, with five goals in 12 appearances across all competitions.
The forward will be expected to start against Real Madrid on Saturday, aiming to continue his goalscoring form and help Valencia secure a shock victory against Los Blancos.
Cyriel Dessers (Rangers) vs Hibernian
Dessers has scored a fantastic 23 goals in 46 appearances for Rangers across all competitions this season, including five in his last six matches for the Gers.
The striker should start for Rangers when they come up against Hibernian on Saturday, and he is likely to be a major threat for the Gers as they continue to solidify their second-placed finish in the Scottish Premiership.
