Manchester United hosts Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Sunday as the Premier League season enters its final stretch.
United come into the match sitting third in the table, having secured their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League. Michael Carrick’s side have remained consistent over the past few weeks and are unbeaten in their last four league matches heading into the weekend.
Despite a goalless draw against Sunderland last time out United still remain in a strong position with two matches left to play.

On the other hand, Nottingham Forest arrive in Manchester after a positive run of form that helped them move clear of the relegation battle.
Forest are currently 16th in the Premier League table and have lost just once in their last five league matches. Results against Newcastle United and Chelsea helped ease pressure during the final weeks of the season.
