Nottingham Forest Team News

A week after securing three valuable points in the Premier League with a 2-0 home win against West Ham, Nottingham Forest suffered a 4-2 defeat away to Aston Villa. After Villa took a three-goal lead within the first 39 minutes, Moussa Niakhate and Morgan Gibbs-White scored goals in both halves, giving Tricky Trees hope of a comeback. However, Aston Villa scored two more goals, and in the end, there was no way back for Forest, who experienced their 14th league defeat of the season and their fourth since the beginning of the year.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s team remains in a dangerous position, sitting just four points above the relegation zone. They have dropped to 17th place in the Premier League table this week after Everton had 10 points deducted due to financial violations, leaving them with only six points after an appeal. Forest struggled to reach the fifth round this season, needing replays to defeat Blackpool from League One and Bristol City from the Championship in the previous two rounds, eventually winning the latter 5-3 on penalties.

Nottingham Forest’s trio of Ibrahim Sangare, Willy Boly, and Ola Aina all picked up unspecified injuries at the Africa Cup of Nations, and it’s currently uncertain when they will return. Chris Wood is still absent due to tendon issues. Nuno Tavares is the latest addition to the injury list after picking up an unspecified injury against West Ham over a week ago, forcing him to miss the defeat to Aston Villa. Niakhate played at left-back last time and could retain his spot on Wednesday, although Harry Toffolo is another option available. Divock Origi will push for a starting role in the attack instead of Taiwo Awoniyi, who was only ready to play the first 45 minutes last weekend. He could be supported in the attack by former United player Anthony Elanga, as well as Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Manchester United Team News

After Manchester United put together a streak of four consecutive victories, the match against Fulham was approached with great optimism. However, following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s promise of support in dethroning Manchester City and Liverpool from the top of English football, Erik ten Hag’s team suffered an unexpected 2-1 defeat at home to Fulham.

Despite Harry Maguire appearing to be the savior with a goal in the 89th minute, equalizing the score after Fulham’s earlier goal, Fulham had the final say with a dramatic winning goal in the 97th minute. Despite Erik ten Hag praising the team’s “great character,” Manchester United lacked decisiveness in the final moments, leaving them in sixth place in the table, eight points behind Aston Villa in fourth place, with 12 games remaining.

The Red Devils entered this FA Cup match as favorites after winning 11 consecutive matches against Nottingham Forest. However, their defeat to Fulham prompted the need for changes in the lineup, especially due to injuries to players like Casemiro and Luke Shaw, leaving gaps that Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, or Sofyan Amrabat will try to fill. They will also be without Rasmus Hojlund, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Martial, and Mason Mount as they all recover from injuries. After making his debut against Fulham, Omari Forson will hope to retain his place on the field, supported in attack by Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United Prediction

Due to their position in the table, current form, and history of head-to-head matchups, Manchester United is a slight favorite in this encounter. However, it’s important to note that Nottingham Forest has the advantage of playing at home, while the guests have shown inconsistency in their results. Therefore, predicting a clear victory for Manchester United isn’t entirely secure. Additionally, we anticipate the match to be quite open, so our betting recommendation is either a draw or a Manchester United win, with at least two goals scored in the match.
