Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest live stream, oddsManchester United is a storied club with a history steeped in success, but they can’t rely on the past as Man United get set for a present day showdown with Nottingham Forest in the first game of a two-leg Carabao Cup (EFL Cup) semifinals matchup kicking off on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 at 11:30 a. m. PT/2:30 p.
FormAfter a poor start to their first season back in the top flight, Forest – who drew 1-1 away to Bournemouth in the league on Saturday – have lost only two of their last 11 games in all competitions: 4-1 at Championship Blackpool in the FA Cup with a heavily rotated side – and 3-0 at United in the Premier League. They'll be hoping to avoid a repeat of the latter – and United's last visit to the City Ground in 1999, when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored a hat-trick off the bench in an 8-1 rout. Meanwhile, United are looking to avoid going three matches without a win for the first time under Ten Hag. In fact, Sunday's 3-2 loss at Arsenal means they've gone two without a win for the first time since the Dutchman's opening couple of games in charge – having drawn 1-1 away to Crystal Palace last Wednesday.
For United, meanwhile, it's a third Carabao Cup semi-final in four seasons – although they have fallen at this hurdle on each of the last two occasions (both times to Manchester City). The visitors suffered their first defeat since the World Cup in losing late on at Arsenal last time out, and Erik ten Hag will expect a reaction as he looks to steer United closer to a first final in any competition since the 2018 FA Cup final. Kick-off is at 8pm GMT.
Where To Watch Nottingham Forest v Manchester United
Team newsForest will be without six players for one of the biggest matches in their recent history. Omar Richards, Moussa Niakhate, Cheikhou Kouyate and Taiwo Awoniyi are all sidelined, along Giulian Biancone – who's been ruled out for the season. Dean Henderson wouldn't have been eligible to play against his parent club but is injured anyway. As for United, in addition to Donny van de Beek – who's out for the season – this game comes too soon for Diogo Dalot to return, while Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial remain doubtful.
