Nottingham Forest Preview: Return to glory days

Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest moved into the FA Cup semi-final for the first time since reaching the final in the 1990/91 campaign at the weekend as they defeated Brighton and Hove Albion on the penalties in the quarter-finals at the AMEX Stadium.

The former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager has led his Forest side to a magnificent campaign as they sit tucked inside the UEFA Champions League spots in the Premier League. They have a seven-point lead over sixth place Newcastle United ahead of this match day.

Man Utd Preview: Slight improvement under Amorim

Ruben Amorim has endured a difficult time of it since arriving at Manchester United from Sporting CP in mid-November but the Red Devils did just about begin to show signs of improvement ahead of the March international break.

They did lose to Fulham in the fifth round of the FA Cup in early March but they are currently enjoying a four-match unbeaten run of form in the league at the moment, as well as hammering Real Sociedad in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League.

Nottingham Forest Team News: Wood still in pain

After missing out on Nottingham Forest's FA Cup quarter-final victory against Brighton and Hove Albion the other day, Chris Wood faces a late fitness test after suffering an injury on international duty with New Zealand. Morgan Gibbs-White is also a doubt for this one after having to come off at the weekend.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Dominguez, Anderson; Elanga, Silva, Hudson-Odoi; Awoniyi

Unavailable: 

Questionable: Gibbs-White (Fitness), Wood (Fitness)

Man Utd Team News: Dorgu is back

Ruben Amorim has been able to welcome back winter transfer window addition Patrick Dorgu from suspension. The Red Devils have also got both Leny Yoro and Harry Maguire back to full fitness but it has been confirmed that Ayden Heaven will be sidelined for the rest of the season.

Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Ugarte, Eriksen, Dorgu; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund

Unavailable: Martinez (Injured), Evans (Injured), Heaven (Injured), Shaw (Injured), Mainoo (Injured), Diallo (Injured)

Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd Prediction

Throughout this campaign, Nottingham Forest have overperformed. However, signs of what could be done were there in the back end of last season and now they have managed to be as efficient and effective as Nuno’s best sides of the past. They face a United side that have shown signs of improvement but there is an argument to suggest the international break came at a bad time for Amorim’s side. With home advantage, siding with Forest would appear the way to go for this one.

Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd Tip: Double chance – Nottingham Forest to win or draw
