by Sridhar in Premier League Predictions
Nottingham Forest will hope to stay in the top-four hunt as they battle injuries to key personnel ahead of this English Premier League matchday 30 fixture on Tuesday. This match at the City Ground between the third-placed Tricky Trees and the 13th-placed Red Devils comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
After their FA Cup success at the weekend, the dream season continues for Forest, although the injury cloud over Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White is a concern. They are third in the standings with 54 points, starting this round five points above Chelsea and four points behind Arsenal. That leaves them with a great chance of sustaining their push for Champions League qualification. United look a distant visitor in 13th place with 37 points, and ten points behind the top six teams. They continue to struggle for consistency under Ruben Amorim while injuries rule key players out.
Three points here will be vital for both teams for contrasting reasons, as they continue to battle with injuries. Who will come out trumps? Read further for our match prediction.

Nottingham Forest - Manchester United: Form Analysis
Nottingham Forest needed penalties to defeat Brighton and reach the FA Cup semis for the first time in 34 years. That result made it four wins in a row in all competitions, including two in a row in the league. That result aside, their recent form in the league has been indifferent, with three wins and three defeats in the last seven matches.
Playing in front of their fans has definitely helped their top-four charge this season, as Forest are unbeaten in eight league matches at this venue. Six wins in this sequence and five clean sheets suggest the Tricky Trees are going to be a tricky opposition.
Forest won their last two Premier League matches against United.
United wouldn’t want to look at that historical stat as they continue to stretch their indifferent season. They defeated Leicester 3-0 away from home before the international break for a second win in a row.
That remains a rare hope in a dire season that landed six defeats and three draws in their last 13 league matches. To make matters worse, United have struggled on the road this season, with only three wins from their 12 recent league trips, drawing five and losing four.

Nottingham Forest & Manchester United Squad Analysis
Nottingham Forest are worried about the availability of their key duo Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood for this match. Gibbs-White was injured in the FA Cup victory over Brighton at the weekend, while Wood missed that match due to an injury during international duty.
If they don’t play, it would be a massive blow for the home team. Wood has scored 18 goals, and Gibbs-White has five, which means they have scored 23 of their 49 Premier League goals this season, nearly half their tally!
Matz Sels has 12 clean sheets in the league this season.
The Belgian ‘keeper leads the tally and hopes to make it a fourth consecutive clean sheet at home in the Premier League.
United will hope to puncture those hopes, but they will depend heavily on captain Bruno Fernandes to do so. Bruno has eight goals and nine assists to his name this season, contributing 17 of United’s 37 goals in this campaign.
The Red Devils will welcome Patrick Dorgu from a ban, and he is expected to slot in at left wing-back. Ruben Amorim’s pet 3-4-3 formation could be headed by Rasmus Hojlund once again, with the Dane scoring once in the international break and also in their last league match.
The injury list is still long at United, who will see defender Ayden Heaven join the likes of Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, and Luke Shaw on the sidelines. The possibility of Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro’s return is a welcome relief for the visitors.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United Prediction
The reverse fixture ended in a thrilling 3-2 win for Forest, who nearly threw their 3-1 lead away. The confidence in the home camp is certainly high as they come here after needing penalties to defeat Brighton and make it to the first FA Cup semi-final in 34 years. Will fatigue cost them here, though? Manchester United may have gone into the international break with back-to-back competitive wins, but they have struggled for consistency this season. It could be another game of goals here, and hence our Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United prediction is both teams to score.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United - Other Interesting Predictions
Bruno Fernandes to score anytime
Bruno Fernandes hasn’t endeared himself to some of the Manchester United past greats with his on-field antics, but his performances have definitely made him a darling for the fans. He has five goals in his last three club games, leading his side to wins over Leicester and Real Sociedad and a draw against Arsenal. Bruno also scored in the reverse fixture and has two goals in his last three matches against Forest. The midfield maestro is likely to be the fulcrum of United’s game and could score a goal here.
