Match Preview

It hasn’t been the most straightforward season for either Man United or Nottingham Forest this term. However, the FA Cup could offer a sort of relief for both teams this week. Forest have an impressive record against the Red Devils in the FA Cup after progressing from four of their previous five ties against United.

The Red Devils were beaten at the City Ground earlier this season in the Premier League. However, they haven’t suffered back-to-back away defeats against their East Midlands rivals since 1984. But, Erik ten Hag will have key injuries to star players to contend with before this game on the road.

Forest have been consistent in the FA Cup across recent seasons, and they will be looking to reach the last eight for the second time in three seasons. Before this period, they had reached the quarterfinal stage on just two occasions in the last 30 seasons.

United are looking to make history in the FA Cup this week, as they could reach the quarterfinal stage for the 48^th time. No side would have reached that stage of the FA Cup on more occasions. The draw could be an interesting angle this week, as three of Forest’s matches in the competition have ended in draws, before they have subsequently won the replays.

Nottingham Forest vs Man United Prediction

United’s squad is stretched at this stage of the season, and a huge performance will be needed to reach the next round of the competition. We could see a draw being played out in 90 minutes, before Forest take their place in the next round.
