Nottingham Forest against Manchester United – Line -Ups, Statistics and Preview

Match preview for Nottingham Forest against Manchester United

The city ground is set to an exciting Premier League collision on Tuesday evening as Nottingham Forest -Guestheer Manchester United.

Forest is currently in third place in the Premier League rankings and has a six -point lead over the fifth placed Manchester City. In the meantime, Manchester United is in the 13th position, no less than 17 points behind their opponents.

Last season, Forest narrowed relegation and finished 17th in the table. Few would have predicted their rise to third, with an impressive record of 16 wins, six draws and seven losses from 29 games, which means that 54 points are collected.

With Champions League qualification within reach, the men of Nuno Espirito Santo still have enough to fight in the last part of the season.

Their last Premier League outing was an exciting 4-2 victory over the city of Ipswich on March 15. Moreover, the difficult trees in the semi -final of the FA Cup took care of Brighon in a penalty shootout at the weekend.

Earlier this season, Forest Manchester United defeated 3-2 at Old Trafford. Now they have the chance to reach their first competition-dolly over the Red Devils since the 1991-92 season under the legendary Brian Clough.

Amazingly enough, United is still looking for their first series of back-to-back competition victories this season. They went in a high tone during the international break after a 3-0 win over Leicester.

In addition to domestic competition, United made an impression in Europe, in which a dominant 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad was obtained in the second stage of their Europa League Last-16 tie, which set up a quarter-final collision with Lyon.

While their hope to qualify for next season’s Champions League through the competition, winning the Europa League seems to them a much needed route back to Europe’s Premier competition.

Despite a turbulent campaign, their recent versions suggest a growing confidence among Ruben Amorim. Since mid -February, the team has not suffered defeat in a normal time against Tottenham.
