Manchester United - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis
Ruben Amorim tasted his first defeat as head coach of Manchester United in midweek when his side were beaten 2-0 by two set-piece goals by Arsenal on the road.
That result brought an end to a seven-match unbeaten run across all competitions for the Red Devils (W5 D2 L0) and also caused them to slip from ninth place to the bottom half of the table.
Additionally, it was the first time that United failed to find the back of the net in 11 matches, dating back to a goalless draw against Aston Villa at the start of October.
However, Man United have won and scored two or more goals in each of their last four home games!
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have been one of the surprise packages this season, but enter this match off the back of a 3-0 defeat on the road to Manchester City in midweek.
Notably, that loss was the Tricky Trees’ third in four league games, and they conceded three goals in each of those defeats, which is more than they shipped since the start of the season.
On the road, Forest have only won one of their last five league matches (W1 D2 L2), and failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those games, allowing 10 goals over the period.

Manchester United & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis
Man United left-back Luke Shaw suffered yet another injury setback in the lead-up to the last match, and the England international could now be facing a further few weeks on the sidelines.
Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Daniel Gore are all likely to miss out this weekend due to injury, while Christian Eriksen is flagged as a minor doubt owing to a knock.
Marcus Rashford has scored three goals in Man United’s last three Premier League games!
Nottingham Forest were able to welcome Danilo back to training in the last week following an extended absence due to a broken ankle. The Brazilian is working his way back to full fitness but is still a few weeks away from a full return.
Ibrahim Sangare underwent surgery on his hamstring ahead of the September international break and it is reported that he is aiming to resume duty by the end of the year.

Our Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
While Manchester United lost their last match against Arsenal, their improvement since the departure of Erik ten Hag is evident and their home record of late has been very impressive.
Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are coming off their third loss in four league games, and their away form has petered off lately, after a very strong start to the season. We’re expecting a close contest but fancy the hosts to edge the result. Our Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest prediction is Manchester United wins.
