Manchester United travel to the City ground on Saturday to face Nottingham Forest in the match-day 10 of the premier league this season, Softfootball reports.
The resurgent Red Devils hammered high flying Brighton 4-2 last weekend while their host the Tricky Trees lost 2-0 to in-form Bournemouth.
Interestingly, Nottingham Forest defeated Manchester United home and away with a 1-0 scoreline in both matches and United would like a revenge in tomorrow’s encounter.

Nottingham are not playing great at the moment but will draw confidence from the fact that they beat Manchester United twice last season while the Red Devils would be going for a revenge.
Man United and Nottingham Forest have faced each other 114 times across all competitions, with the Red Devils winning 54 and the Tricky Trees’ 36, while there have also been 24 draws played out between the two clubs.
October 1892 was the first meeting between both sides. Then Man United (known then as Newton Heath) drew 1-1 with Forest in the old Division One. Forest won 3-1 away from home just three months later. The Red Devils won against Forest for the first time in 1907 4-0 and it was one of just six victories in their first 23 meetings across all competitions up until 1935.
However, Man United have dominated this fixture in the Premier League, with 14 wins out of 20 matches, including a memorable 8-1 thrashing of the Tricky Trees at the City Ground in February 1999.
Star player
England international, Elliot Anderson is the star player for Nottingham Forest and his form in the earlier part of the season got him a call-up to the Three Lions of England. Although, the team have struggled in recent times, Anderson is still one of the shinning lights for the City Ground side.
For Manchester United, It’s captain Bruno Fernandez. He makes the side thick and despite being played out of position, he is impacting the games positively like his faint assist for Bryan Mbeumo’s fourth goal against Brighton last week.
Team News
Nottingham Forest will be without Chris Wood (knee) and new signing Oleksandr Zinchenko (groin), while Ola Aina (hamstring), Dilane Bakwa (unspecified) and Angus Gunn (knee).
