Aston Villa boss Unai Emery admits they face a test going to Nottingham Forest today.
Emery concedes he has concerns about their away form so far this season.
He said: "I didn't play there last year; we arrived after they played there. I have been asking the coaches, asking the players about how difficult the match will be on Sunday.
“Always in Nottingham it's very difficult for every team. From the coaches and players that have played there I know it's difficult. It's a fantastic atmosphere there for them and the supporters are pushing a lot and trying to support their players.
“We have to be ready and facing this match thinking about how we can play better away. We are playing very well at home and being very competitive at home and winning.
“Away we are not being consistent like I want. We have to improve and we can play better. This is the challenge: we can play better, we can be more competitive."
