Nottingham Forest vs Man United Prediction
- Nottingham Forest needed penalties to progress past Brighton and book a spot in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Saturday night.
- Nuno's side have now won their last four in all competitions and are unbeaten in eight at the City Ground in the league.
- Back-to-back wins prior to the international break suggests that Manchester United have turned a corner following a rocky few months under Ruben Amorim.
- United have also won three of their last four trips to the City Ground, but did lose the reverse fixture at Old Trafford.
- Forest's hopes rest on the availability of both Wood and Gibbs-White.

Nottingham Forest vs Man United Team News
- Nuno is sweating on the fitness of key pair Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood for Tuesday's welcome of Manchester United.
- Gibbs-White took a knock in the FA Cup win over Brighton on Saturday, a game Wood missed due to injury sustained while on international duty.
- Carlos Miguel is the only confirmed absentee for Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, and fitness permitting; Nuno may go for the same XI that defeated Ipswich prior to the international break.
- Patrick Dorgu returns from a ban and is expected to start at left wing-back at the City Ground on Tuesday night.
- Dorgu's availability is a boost for Ruben Amorim, who lost Ayden Heaven to injury in the 3-0 win at Leicester prior to the international break and the youngster joins Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Amad, Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw on the sidelines.
- Centre-backs Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro may return for the midweek game at Nottingham Forest, which would be a huge boost with options at the back thin on the ground.
- Christian Eriksen has started United's last two league games and may keep his place at Joshua Zirkzee's expense on Tuesday.
