• Competition: England - Premier League
• Date: Tuesday, 1st, April 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: City Ground (Nottingham)

Nottingham Forest hopes to cement their position in the top four as they take on bottom-half dwellers Man United at City Ground in Premier League action on Tuesday.

After a two-week hiatus due to international duties, Nottingham made a triumphant comeback, sealing their spot in the FA Cup semifinals with a dramatic 4-3 victory over Brighton Hove & Albion in a tense and nerve-wracking penalty shootout.

After bowing out in the FA Cup last-16 stage, Man United enjoyed a free weekend, meaning their last outing dates back to mid-March when they thumped Leicester 3-0 at King Power Stadium to give their fading European hopes a slight boost.

Their first meeting turned into a spectacle filled with goals, ending in a dramatic five-goal showdown that saw Forest claim victory and depart Old Trafford with the spoils, so it wouldn’t be shocking if Espirito’s high-flyers complete the double over a faltering United. With a tally of 28 points from 14 home matches, Nottingham has been nearly unbeatable on their own turf, boasting the third-strongest home record in the top flight, with only Liverpool and Arsenal proving to be more dominant hosts. Looking deeper into the numbers, City Ground has been an incredibly tough place to get a result in recent months, as Forest has not tasted defeat since November 10 across all competitions, winning eight times in that span, and that’s without even mentioning that they hosted Villa, Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal, and most recently Manchester City, whom they stunned with a 1-0 victory. 

Man United's chances of earning a UEFA ticket through the league next season are virtually nonexistent, as they are enduring one of the most poorest campaigns of their ear, having managed to muster a sloppy 37 points from 29 games, a tally that leaves them languishing in a disappointing 13th place. From their last 13 top-flight matches, Ruben Amorim's side have found themselves on the winning side just four times, with three of those coming against teams currently teams stuck in the relegation zone, so it’s evident that the Red Devils are a troubled side facing difficulties in producing results. As a result, it's hard to envision Amorim’s depleted side being able to compete with a fired-up Forest, who are eager to prove their strength against yet another English giant at City Ground and send them home empty-handed, just as they did to Manchester United’s biggest rival, City.
