Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest will not be too disheartened with their 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Aston Villa who sit so many places above them in the table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Aston Villa, who had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
With 6 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 12 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. Steve Cooper will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 14 out of 15 home games.
A win for Nottingham Forest is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
When home matches come round at The City Ground, Brennan Johnson will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 6 goals in Nottingham Forest's last 6 home league matches.
Manchester United, Recent FormManchester United head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-0 home win against Everton in their last league encounter. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 29 attempts on goal with 11 on target, in comparison to Everton, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Erik ten Hag will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 4 of their last 6 matches on their travels. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they are proving that they are not easy to defeat.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
On an individual basis, Marcus Rashford will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 15 goals in Manchester United's 29 league games this season.
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 3 goals.
The Red Devils will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Forest, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 12 meetings between the two. In their past 5 meetings, Man Utd's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The Reds will have to take their chances when they come. Man Utd have a decent scoring record against The Reds in recent times, having hit the back of the net 22 times in the last 5 matches between the two.
Forest will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 6 times they've met Man Utd in the league and not won this fixture for 7 games in a row.
Forest manager Steve Cooper has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Serge Aurier (Knock), Giulian Biancone (Cruciate ligament), Willy Boly (Hamstring), Emmanuel Dennis (Knock), Dean Henderson (Muscle), Jesse Lingard (Achilles tendon), Scott McKenna (Hamstring), Omar Richards (Leg), Chris Wood (Leg) and Ryan Yates (Shoulder) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag with Tom Heaton (Ankle), Harry Maguire (Hamstring), Luke Shaw (Muscle) and Brandon Williams (Unknown) all unavailable for selection, and Donny van de Beek (Knee) out for the rest of the season.
