Manchester United – Nottingham Forest: Statistics and Prediction

Manchester United have already secured Champions League qualification, but Michael Carrick’s side remain determined to finish the season strongly.

The Red Devils have lost just twice in their last 15 matches under Carrick and have delivered several impressive attacking displays at Old Trafford in recent weeks.

However, United were held to a goalless draw by Sunderland last time out, ending their streak of scoring in 23 consecutive Premier League matches.

H3: Forest arrive in strong form

Nottingham Forest endured a turbulent season with multiple managerial changes, but the club has found momentum at the perfect time.

Forest are unbeaten in their last eight league matches and have avoided defeat in their previous four Premier League meetings with Manchester United.

The reverse fixture ended 2-2, while Forest secured a memorable 3-2 victory at Old Trafford last season.

Key statistics

  • Manchester United are winless in their last four league games against Forest
  • Eight of the last 10 meetings produced over 4.5 cards
  • Five of United’s last seven matches produced over 10.5 corners
  • Over 2.5 goals landed in seven of United’s last nine matches

Team news

Matthijs de Ligt remains unavailable through injury. Joshua Zirkzee is expected to continue in attack.

Forest could be without several important players, which may weaken their chances despite their strong unbeaten run.


Prediction

Manchester United appear the more likely winners at Old Trafford. Carrick’s side have looked confident in attack and are expected to score first.

First goal - Man.Utd
