Looking to extend on their fairytale and collect another heavyweight Premier League scalp, Nottingham Forest will welcome Manchester United to the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest
Starting with the hosts, booking a famous FA Cup semi-final ticket over the weekend as they edged past Brighton thanks to a nail-biting penalty shootout victory, Nottingham Forest have firmly underlined their status as one of Europe’s ultimate surprise packages this season. Continuing to shatter a string of records and gaining plaudits from across the continent, Nuno Espírito Santo finds the mood in his camp at an iconic high. Marking their return from March’s international break remarkably sat in bronze medal position, Forest are sat firmly in the driving seat to claim a Champions League spot in 2025. In the midst of what has become an astonishing fairytale, the former Wolves boss will be confident of laying down another statement of intent here.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Picking up a knock while away with New Zealand over the past fortnight, Nottingham Forest are once again sweating over the fitness of leading marksman Chris Wood on Tuesday night. However, aside from the former Newcastle striker, Santo’s men have reported a clean bill of health and have no fresh injury concerns to worry about.
Making a sensational impact after arriving from Fiorentina last summer, Nikola Milenkovic will partner Murillo at the back. Settling for a spot on the bench against Brighton over the weekend, former Manchester United starlet Anthony Elanga could be handed a full recall.
Manchester United
As for the visitors, heading into March’s international break with a routine 3-0 victory against leading relegation scrappers Leicester, Manchester United are simply looking to find some kind of stability over the final couple of months. While Ruben Amorim’s men might have booked their Europa League quarter-final ticket earlier in the month as they claimed a 5-2 aggregate win against Spanish outfit Real Sociedad, the former Sporting Lisbon boss has seen his squad win just a pair of their previous six Premier League appearances. Likewise, the Red Devils have failed to secure consecutive top-flight victories so far this season. Falling to an action-packed 3-2 loss when they welcomed Forest to the City Ground for their reverse meeting on December 7th, Amorim’s side have another tricky test on their hands here.
Manchester United Team News
All still dealing with respective injury issues, Manchester United will once again be without the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez on Tuesday night. However, Amorim’s side are hopeful that former Chelsea star Mason Mount will be able to make a first appearance of 2025.
Notching six goals in his final three appearances prior to March’s international break, the red-hot Bruno Fernandes will play a leading role at the City Ground. Finding the net whole away at Denmark over the past fortnight, Rasmus Hojlund should keep his spot in attack.
