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.
Kick-off is at 8pm GMT. 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. 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.
Prior to that, they'd won nine in a row in all competitions. RefereeMichael Oliver will be the referee for Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United.
