With their place in the FA Cup semi-finals secured, Nottingham Forest host Manchester United next, in what feels like a big game for both clubs. Forest remain 3rd in the table and can see the finish line in their chase for a top 4 finish and Champions League football next season. Meanwhile Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United continue to plug away in the Premier League but they know they are in for a tough one at the City Ground here.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United Analysis
Both of these sides will be looking for three points, in what promises to be an excellent game for both punters and EPL betting sites.
Nottingham Forest
Following their gusty penalty shootout win over Brighton in the FA Cup last weekend, Nottingham Forest could be adding silverware to their incredible season. For now, though, attention turns to the Premier League and the job on their hands to secure Champions League football next season. Forest sit 3rd in the table and have a buffer to the sides behind them, with their form at the City Ground seemingly key to their hopes of landing elite level European football next term and this feels like a huge game for the Tricky Trees.
Team news: As they have been for most of the season, Forest are injury-free here.
Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup:
Sels, Aina, Williams, Murillo, Milenkovic, Anderson, Yates, Hudson-Odoi, Elanga, Gibbs-White & Wood.
Manchester United
With the Premier League merely a pride exercise for United this season, Ruben Amorim will be looking for his side to keep picking up results between now and the end of the campaign. United are showing a few signs of improvement of late and they will be targeting the Europa League as their passport to be playing European football next season. This is a real barometer of where United are in English football at the moment but they are very much second favourites for this fixture with most punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire, Amad & Lisandro Martinez will all miss this one for United.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup:
Onana, Dalot, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Yoro, Dorgu, Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes, Garnacho & Hojlund.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United Prediction
This should be a good game at the City Ground, between two teams who are operating at opposite ends of the Premier League table. Forest will be chasing down the Champions League place they have held for so long this season, while Manchester United are languishing in the bottom half. With increased importance for Forest and home advantage, they could land an important win here.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest to win the match – 13/10 (+130) – Rhino Bet.
