Erik ten Hag’s side threw away a two-goal lead against Sevilla on Thursday night, hardly ideal preparation for a trip to a team battling relegation.
United have little more margin for error in the race for the top four and their away form has been nothing like the kind they’ve shown at home.
Forest, on the other hand, are the complete opposite.
If anything is going to keep Steve Cooper’s side up this season, it will be their home form.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United is scheduled for a 4.30pm BST kick-off time today, Sunday 16 April, 2023.

Cheikhou Kouyate and Moussa Niakhate limped off during Forest’s loss to Aston Villa with hamstring injuries and are major doubts.
Renan Lodi is also injured and Emmanuel Dennis is not thought to be fully fit.
For United, Lisandro Martinez will miss the rest of the season, while Rapahel Varane has also been ruled out of the next few games.
Marcus Rashford remains out, but Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay are both pushing to return. Ten Hag has indicated Anthony Martial may not be risked, so Wout Weghorst could lead the line.

Luckily for United, Forest look in freefall at the moment. While the City Ground plays a factor, ten Hag’s side should have enough.
