Manchester United return to Premier League action after the World Cup break ready to move on without Cristiano Ronaldo. This is their first meeting with Nottingham Forest since 1999. Newly-promoted Forest are already in the relegation zone and an away trip to Old Trafford is not likely to be the easiest of fixtures. We promote Parimatch and Helabet as we preview this match.
MANCHESTER UNITED
5th-placed Manchester United, who are targeting at least a top 4 finish, cannot afford to drop points in this match as teams around them continue to win their games. They looked solid enough last week in their 2-0 win against Championship side Burnley in the EFL Cup. Nothing short of a win is expected when they take to the field at home in front of their fans in this game.
Marcus Rashford continued his hot streak form with a superb solo goal to seal the win for United against Burnley. He is now United’s leading scorer this season with 9 goals in total and is expected to play an important role in this game. Nevertheless, coach Erik Ten Hag will have to do without centerback pairing of Martinez and Varane, both of whom were involved in the World Cup final match between Argentina and France.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
With 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 Premier League games, Nottingham’s recent record is not so bad. However, they have managed only 13 points in their opening 15 games, leading them in the relegation zone, 1 point from bottom. They need to get more points from the coming games if they are to climb up out of danger.
A 4-1 win over Championship side Blackburn in the EFL Cup was the kind of motivation Forest need going into this encounter. They will be hoping that long-term United player Jesse Lingard, now playing for Forest, will be motivated enough to settle scores with his old club with a great performance on the field to help Forest to take the points they need.
