The Premier League clash between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, scheduled for April 1, 2025, at the City Ground, promises to be an intriguing encounter. Nottingham Forest currently sits third in the league standings and is riding a wave of momentum following a recent FA Cup victory over Brighton . The home side has remained unbeaten in their last eight Premier League matches at home, with six wins and two draws bolstering their confidence ahead of this fixture . However, they face challenges with key player Chris Wood potentially sidelined due to injury.
Nottingham Forest will hope to stay in the top-four hunt as they battle injuries to key personnel ahead of this English Premier League matchday 30 fixture on Tuesday. This match at the City Ground between the third-placed Tricky Trees and the 13th-placed Red Devils comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
After their FA Cup success at the weekend, the dream season continues for Forest, although the injury cloud over Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White is a concern. They are third in the standings with 54 points, starting this round five points above Chelsea and four points behind Arsenal. That leaves them with a great chance of sustaining their push for Champions League qualification. United look a distant visitor in 13th place with 37 points, and ten points behind the top six teams. They continue to struggle for consistency under Ruben Amorim while injuries rule key players out.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, N Williams; Dominguez, Anderson; Jota, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Elanga
Manchester United possible starting lineup: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee
Nuno has confirmed that the striker is a major doubt for Tuesday's game, with the quick turnaround working against him, Taiwo Awoniyi is ready to deputise for the Kiwi forward again.
Morgan Gibbs-White should be fine to start despite his heavy collision with the post on Saturday. Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi are sure bets to return to the Forest XI.
On the other hand, Manchester United is positioned lower in the league at thirteenth but enters this match looking to build on recent successes. Bruno Fernandes has been instrumental for United, contributing significantly to their offensive play . The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports in the UK and available for streaming on Discovery+ and ESPN+ in various regions . Given Forest's strong home record against a struggling United side, predictions favor a narrow win for the hosts.
