Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag’s United side are sat in the top four and will go third with a point or better, though they will have to manage the match better than in midweek when they let a two-goal lead slip and drew with Sevilla.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
Gibbs-White bundles over Fernandes in the Forest half and the away side have a free-kick in an inviting position. Fernandes plays a delicate chip over the wall looking for Eriksen but the offside flag goes up as the Dane's strike is saved by Navas.

Fernandes is having a wonderful game at the heart of United's midfield. He receives the ball on the right edge of the box but, once again, Navas does well to turn his effort around the post.

Once again Antony cuts in from the right and tries to bend one into the far corner. This effort has Navas scrambling but it goes just wide of the right post.

OFF THE BAR! What a hit from Fernandes and that is so close to United's second. The captain plays it short to Eriksen who rolls it back to the Portuguese midfielder. He strikes it first time and viciously from the edge of the box but it's an unbelievable save from Navas to tip it onto the bar and keep the deficit to one goal.
