Manchester United, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Manchester United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur. During that encounter they had 44% possession and had 22 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 17 shots on goal.
Manager Erik ten Hag will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 7 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 19 games.
Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Sheffield United. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Sheffield United who had 7 attempts and 3 on target.
Manager Steve Cooper will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 11 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 11 games.
On an individual basis, Taiwo Awoniyi is showing great form in front of goal having scored 8 goals in Nottingham Forest's last 6 league games
