Notable statistics
Man United have just had 3 consecutive wins against Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton, marking Man United's best win streak in a season since a series of 4 wins in February 2024. The Red Devils are one of three teams to win 100% of their games in October, along with Arsenal and Aston Villa, and have risen to sixth in the table.
In fact, only leader Arsenal (6) has won more points than Man United in the Premier League from round 3 onwards (15 points). Amorim's side also have scored the most goals in the league in that time (14) after scoring four against Brighton last time out.
On the Man United side, Cunha scored his first goal for his new team. He has a very good fate when facing teams in the danger zone like Nottingham - ranked 18. Cunha has been involved in seven goals in his last four appearances against relegated sides (3 goals, 4 assists). All of those goals have come for former club Wolves between April 2024 and April 2025.
Mbeumo has also scored or assisted in each of his last three Premier League games for Man United (3 goals, 1 assist). In addition, only Erling Haaland (19 goals, 3 assists) and Mohamed Salah (15 goals, 7 assists) have been involved in more Premier League goals than Mbeumo (14 goals, 6 assists) in 2025.
A completely different story for Forest, who made their Premier League debut under new manager Sean Dyche and ended up with a 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth last weekend.
Despite Sean Dyche's comprehensive tactical changes, Forest have failed to avoid a sixth defeat in their last seven Premier League games (D1), including four consecutive defeats without scoring. They have not lost five consecutive games since October 2022, while the last time Forest suffered five consecutive defeats without a goal was in January 2004 in the Championship.
Of course, their lack of sharpness in attack is their main concern. Forest scored three goals from seven shots in the first half in the opening Premier League win over Brentford (43%) but have only scored two goals from 93 shots in 17 games since then (2%).
Dyche is expected to turn things around, but it is important to know that the teams he has led have failed to score in 10/14 of their most recent Premier League games (9/13 against Everton, 1/1 against Forest).
That poor scoring record was the highlight of his career. Among the coaches who have led more than 150 matches in the history of the tournament, Dyche has the lowest scoring ratio per match - 0.97 goals per match (323 goals in 334 matches).
Head-to-head record Nottingham Forest and Man United
In the most recent match between the two teams, Anthony Elanga scored the decisive goal in the 5th minute, helping Forest beat Man United at home.
In fact, Forest have won their last three games against Man United, but have not won four consecutive against the Red Devils ( Man United's nickname) since 1910.
Man United have lost their last two away games at the City Ground, but have not lost three consecutive away games against Forest between August 1965 and October 1967,
The Nottingham Forest vs Man United match will take place at 22:00 on November 1.
