Man Utd vs Nottm Forest preview
Only a monumental United collapse stands between them and a Wembley visit for the Carabao Cup final.
That’s because Erik ten Hag’s men ran out comfortable 3-0 winners at the City Ground last week.
Goals from Marcus Rashford, Wout Weghorst and Bruno Fernandes wrapping up a huge first leg advantage.
Forest have had a week to prepare for this second leg, having been knocked out the FA Cup by Blackpool in the third round earlier this month.
But United were in FA Cup action and banged in another three goals in a 3-1 win over Reading.

Team News
Man Utd
Christian Eriksen left Old Trafford on crutches at the weekend and will miss this one.
It’s not quite known what the damage is but it would take a miraculous recovery to even be involved.
Casemiro bagged a brace against Reading and will play in the midfield for this one.
Marcus Rashford could be rested with Crystal Palace to come this week before another Premier League game in midweek.
A potential Man Utd team selection
Nottingham Forest
Morgan Gibbs-White picked up an ankle injury in the first leg in what could be a hammer blow for Forest this term.
He’s expected to miss out, with Lewis O’Brien set to come in.
Wayne Hennessey will play in goal.

SunSport tips
Man Utd -2 @ 3/1 with Sky Bet – CLAIM HERE
After their results this season, you’d feel you were missing out on a payday by not backing this.
United have won 3-0 against Forest twice already this season and could follow that in again.
Rashford could be rested so you lose his automatic goal but that gives one of the stand-in players a big chance to make an impression.
There shouldn’t be too much pressure on them and this could be an exhibition.
How Forest have competed on average across their league games
What managers have said
Erik ten Hag might give a hint of his team selection with a couple of big Premier League games to come when he speaks ahead of this one.
While injury updates on Morgan Gibbs-White and Christian Eriksen are needed.
We’ll bring the best of what they say when they say it.
