A solid mid-table side. Forest are hard to break down in front of their own fans at City Ground, but chances can be scarce at the other end too.
Away
Manchester United
A strong, well-drilled team. Man Utd tend to win games on the road at City Ground by controlling midfield rather than overwhelming opponents.
