Prediction: 1-1
Manchester United
Wednesday’s FA Cup at the City Ground pits together Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, the two teams who were beaten by Aston Villa and Fulham respectively at the weekend. The Red Devils are hungry for revenge as they were outplayed by the Reds in their last meeting in the Premier League. Midfielder Casemiro is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, while Christian Eriksen should be recalled to the starting XI.
The hosts, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the defeat to Villa, but given their attacking potential in front of home fans, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Defender Andrew Omobamidele is pushing for a start, while all Willy Boly, Ibrahim Sangare, Ola Aina, and Chris Wood are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
