Get ready for an epic battle! Tonight, Nottingham Forest takes on Manchester United at the City Ground. Forest is on fire at home, with 8 unbeaten league games! They're 3rd in the league and love scoring first (15 wins out of 22!). But, if they concede first, they struggle. United, on the other hand, is getting back on track, with 4 unbeaten games! They're 13th in the league, but new boss Rúben Amorim has them buzzing!
𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐕𝐈𝐁𝐄𝐒
Forest has won the last 2 meetings against United! Can they make it 3 in a row? Historically, United has dominated this matchup, with 6 wins to Forest's 2 in their last 8 league games. However, Forest's recent form suggests they're ready to turn the tables.
Some interesting stats to note: Forest scores loads of goals! They've got 49 goals, 11 more than expected! United struggles with set pieces, and Forest loves exploiting this weakness! Gibbs-White is on fire, setting up goals in his last 2 games. Fernandes is unstoppable, scoring or assisting in his last 4 matches.
𝐈𝐍𝐉𝐔𝐑𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐀
Forest's Chris Wood (hip) and Morgan Gibbs-White (knock) might miss out.
United's Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, and Patrick Dorgu are back, but Amad Diallo, Jonny Evans, Kobbie Mainoo, and Luke Shaw are out.
