Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their away fixture against Newcastle United. They came away from that fixture with 38% of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Newcastle United managed 19 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
Nuno Espírito Santo, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 6 goals scored. So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 16 of their 19 games.
Nottingham Forest will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at The City Ground, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
On an individual basis, Chris Wood will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Nottingham Forest's last 6 league games.
Manchester United, Recent FormManchester United will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-2 home win against Aston Villa. In that game they recorded 46 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 10 shots on goal.
Erik ten Hag will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games and having conceded at least one goal in 5 of those games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Bruno Fernandes will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Nottingham Forest in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Manchester United.
It was one to forget for Nottingham Forest last time they met Manchester United in the league, falling to a 3-2 defeat.
The Red Devils will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Forest having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 14 meetings. Playing at home, Forest have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Man Utd. The Reds have struggled to keep Man Utd at bay when these two teams have met at The City Ground, during the last 3 times they have hosted Man Utd in the league, they have conceded a total of 14 goals. The Man Utd defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Reds in the league, with Man Utd conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
Forest will be desperate to get some points from this game, having lost the last 8 times they've faced Man Utd in the league and not managed a win from any of their last 9 meetings.
Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Serge Aurier (Calf), Taiwo Awoniyi (Knee surgery) and George Shelvey (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Erik ten Hag has a number of injury concerns in his Man Utd squad to contend with: Carlos Casemiro (Hamstring), Amad Diallo (Ankle), Victor Lindelöf (Unknown), Harry Maguire (Groin), Tyrell Malacia (Knee surgery), Anthony Martial (Illness), Lisandro Martínez (Foot), Mason Mount (Calf) and Donny van de Beek (Knock)
