Manchester United, Recent FormManchester United will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Fulham. During that encounter they recorded 47% of the possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 9 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 7 of their 14 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 7, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 5 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Old Trafford recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches.
It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.
Antony dos Santos will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Manchester United.
Nottingham Forest, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Crystal Palace in their last league game, Nottingham Forest will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 32%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Crystal Palace, who had 8 shots on goal with 0 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Steve Cooper will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 4 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. If they are to pick up more points on the road, they will need to end their run of 5 games without a goal. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
Lyle Taylor will be hoping to create problems for Manchester United in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Nottingham Forest.
A defeat for Nottingham Forest in their last match against Manchester United was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 7 goals.
Man Utd will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Reds having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 11 meetings. In their recent meetings Forest have struggled to keep The Red Devils at bay, having conceded 24 goals in their last 5 games. Forest have struggled to break down The Red Devils defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Man Utd will be looking to continue their winning streak against Forest, having won each of the last 5 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Antony dos Santos (Knock), Harry Maguire (Hamstring), Cristiano Ronaldo (Illness), Jadon Sancho (Fever), Donny van de Beek (Knock), Raphaël Varane (Muscle) and Brandon Williams (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Steve Cooper has a number of injury concerns in his Forest squad to contend with: Giulian Biancone (Cruciate ligament), Moussa Niakhaté (Groin), Omar Richards (Leg) and Harry Toffolo (Knock)
