Nottingham Forest welcome Manchester United to The City Ground for tonight’s Premier League encounter.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s team are fresh off the back of a win in the FA Cup quarter-finals where they defeated Brighton 4-3 on penalties to reach the last four of the competition.

They sit third in the table and have a five point lead over fourth place Chelsea as they seek to secure a spot in the Champions League next season.

Manchester United, meanwhile, are down in 13th but have been improving under Ruben Amorim before the most recent international break and will hope to end the season strongly despite recent struggles.

What is the team news?

Chris Wood is a major doubt for the match after picking up a hip issue on international duty with New Zealand. Morgan Gibbs-White will also be assessed after his collision with the post during the FA Cup match against Brighton with the manager feeling he should be fine to play.

Manchester United welcome back five players with Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton all available for selection. Shaw doesn’t seem quite ready despite returning to training so it will be unlikely that he features but Ruben Amorim will no doubt benefit from the defensive reinforcements of Maguire and Yoro.

Patrick Dorgu has now served a suspension and will also be in the squad, but Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo, Ayden Heaven and Jonny Evans are definitely out of the fixture.

Confirmed line-ups

Forest XI: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Yates, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Danilo; Awoniyi

Man Utd XI: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Yoro; Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dorgu; Garnacho, Zirkzee, Fernandes

Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd Prediction

Ruben Amorim continues to build his Manchester United side but they have been in turmoil throughout this Premier League campaign. Back to back wins, against Real Sociedad and Leicester City, will give them confidence but Nottingham Forest are better drilled and have home advantage.

Nuno Espirito Santo will know that a win tonight massively improves his team’s chances of reaching the Champions League and Forest’s FA Cup quarter-final victory over Brighton will give them enough of a boost to get the job done.

Forest 1-0 Man Utd.
