Lineups to start
Pre-match information
After a 23-match consecutive scoring streak in the Premier League, Manchester United suddenly went silent in the 0-0 draw against Sunderland last weekend. That result also prevented Bruno Fernandes from increasing his total assists to 20 in the Premier League this season. The Portuguese midfielder currently has 19 assists and is only one "serving" time away from the league's all-time record.
However, Man United still maintains stable form under Michael Carrick with a 4-match unbeaten streak, including three wins and one draw. The Old Trafford home team is currently ranked third in the standings and has secured a Champions League spot next season.
In the context of a major goal being almost completed, the risk of losing focus may somewhat appear for the "Red Devils" in the reception of Nottingham Forest this weekend.
On the other side, Nottingham Forest traveled to Manchester with not bad form. The 1-1 draw against Newcastle last weekend helped Vitor Pereira's team extend their Premier League unbeaten streak to 8 matches - their best achievement in a season since 1995-1996.
Forest has now officially stayed in the league after creating a safe gap with the relegation group. Notably, their away form recently is extremely impressive.
Except for the loss to Aston Villa in the Europa League semi-finals, Nottingham Forest won all three recent away trips in the Premier League with a total score of 11-1.
In addition, Forest also has reason to be confident when they once won 3-2 at Old Trafford last season. Man United have also not won in the last three encounters between the two teams.
