It’s a topsy turvy state of affairs when Nottingham Forest are substantially favored to beat Manchester United, but here we are! The Tricky Trees have serious, legitimate designs on a top four finish, and thus far, they’re the feel good story of the 2024-25 Premier League season.
Meanwhile United, in this most disastrous of seasons for them, are actually experiencing an uptick right now.

United have lost only once in their last seven, across all competitions and they enter this match undefeated in their last four. Visiting Forest will be a challenging proposition to be sure. First year manager Ruben Amorim will have to put his best foot forward with his first team.
Or at least make the best first team he can, given all the injuries.
