On Tuesday evening, The City Ground will be the venue for an exciting Premier League clash, as Nottingham Forest, who are vying for a spot in the Champions League, take on a Manchester United team eager to secure consecutive league victories for the first time this season. The launch time for the Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United game is 20:00 UK Time.
Nobody really thought Forest would be sitting comfortably in third place this season after they ended 17th last year in the Premier League (just avoiding relegation). Something really remarkable has happened because of Nuno Espirito Santos.
With a record of 16 victories, 6 draws, and 7 loses from 29 matches, the Reds have been absolutely sensational this year. They are aiming to secure a berth in the European tournament this season and currently have 54 points.
As the season winds down, Santos’s side still has a long way to go. Despite playing at home, Brighton were no match for Forest’s resilience and commitment, which earned them a penalty shootout victory and a spot in the FA Cup semi-finals. Their next Premier League match is against United, where they want to maintain their winning streak.
In their last match before the international break, United displayed their dominance and talent by defeating Leicester City 3-0. After a 4-1 win against Real Sociedad in the Europa League second leg, Manchester United will face Lyon in the quarterfinals. The Premier League isn’t going to get United into the Champions League this season, but if they win the Europa League, they’ll surely be playing in the UCL. They have a fantastic opportunity to exact retribution after losing the season-opening match against Forest.
