THE LOWDOWN
MAN UTD
- Man Utd currently lie three points outside of the top four going into the Premier League’s resumption, so cannot afford the sort of slow start which dogged them at the start of the season.
- Centre-back is an area of concern for them with Lisandro Martinez celebrating following Argentina’s World Cup success and Raphael Varane having only just returned to Manchester after playing in the final with France, so Harry Maguire will likely partner Victor Lindelof provided the England international recovers adequately from a sickness bug.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
- Nottingham Forest have endured a difficult Premier League campaign since their long-awaited promotion back to the top flight, but despite sitting in the bottom are just one point away from safety.
- First-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson is unable to face his former club, so Wayne Hennessey will step up between the sticks, although the Welshman is an injury doubt after suffering a knock at the World Cup.
THE TEAM NEWS
MAN UTD
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial
UNAVAILABLE: Lisandro (International Duty), Tuanzebe (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Dalot (Injured), Maguire (Illness), Varane (International Duty),
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Hennessey; Aurier, Worrall, Boly, Toffolo; Yates, Mangala, Freuler; Johnson, Awoniyi, Lingard
UNAVAILABLE: Biancone (Injured), Henderson (Ineligible), Kouyate (Injured), Niakhate (Injured), Richards (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Aurier (Injured), Gibbs-White (Injured), Hennessey (Fitness)
THE PREDICTION
Nottingham Forest will need to have used this extended break positively, specifically in regards to Steve Cooper working out his best side within a large squad loaded with players who have only been at the club since summer. That victory against Blackburn in midweek was a promising showing, but Man Utd will pose a far stronger examination. The Red Devils have been frustrating in parts across the season so far, but their home record is excellent with each of their last five matches at Old Trafford in all competitions ending in victory for them. When taking into account the strength and class of their squad compared to that of Forest, the hosts should emerge triumphant in this one.
TIP: MAN UTD TO WIN
