Nottingham Forest vs Man United Match Prediction
Ange Postecoglou might be gone, but it was a familiar story for new boss Sean Dyche after his first Premier League game ended in defeat at Bournemouth.
It's now two draws and six defeats since the opening-day victory over Brentford, leaving Nottingham Forest, who were 7th this time 12 months ago, three points from safety.
For the first time in possibly his entire tenure at the club, the pressure is easing on Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim after three wins on the bounce has them climb into the top-six.
You have to go back to February 2024 for the last time the Red Devils managed four straight Premier League wins.
Score Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Man United
