Cooper needs to ensure that Forest get back to winning ways very quickly. Right now, it looks as though the team are struggling from second-season syndrome a little bit.
The big decision for Cooper defensively comes between the posts. Matt Turner was at fault for two goals against Liverpool and surely the time has come for Odysseas Vlachodimos to get his chance.
For the visit of Villa, it seems as though Cooper will revert to a flat back-four. With that in mind, we think Moussa Niakhate could be the man to miss out for this one.
Willy Boly and Murillo have struck up a good partnership. As a result, the pair will likely get the chance to start from the off once again against Villa. In the full-back positions, it looks unlikely that there will be a change. With that in mind, Serge Aurier should start at right-back, with Ola Aina on the left-hand side.
Everything appears quite cosher in the middle of the park. Although some fans are pining for Ryan Yates to come into the fold this weekend, he might have to remain patient.
