----------------------------------
Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo has a new injury concern that is hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Nottingham Forest manager might be bereft of the services of two first-team players vs Manchester United on Tuesday.
The Portuguese tactician is sweating over Morgan Gibbs-White’s fitness after he picked up a knock in the FA Cup clash with Brighton & Hove Albion. In addition, Chris Wood faces a late fitness test to determine his availability amid his recovery from a hip injury.
Matz Sels will take his spot between the sticks between the sticks, with Nottingham Forest lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Manchester United on Tuesday. The backline should feature Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo, and Neco Williams.
As for the midfield unit, Nicolas Dominguez and Elliot Anderson should pair up in the double pivot. Finally, Gibbs-White should be fit enough to reprise the No. 10 role, with Jota Silva, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Anthony Elanga playing around him. So, Wood will be a backup option on the bench.
Manchester United
Unlike his counterpart in the Nottingham Forest dugout, Ruben Amorim has greeted positive updates on the team news front ahead of the trip to the City Ground. The Manchester United manager will be without six first-team players on Tuesday.
Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro are fit and available, while Altay Bayindir requires a late fitness to determine his availability. In addition, Patrick Dorgu has served his three-match suspension. So, Lisandro Martinez (knee), Luke Shaw (calf), Ayden Heaven (ankle), Jonny Evans (lower back), Kobbie Mainoo (muscle), and Amad Diallo (ankle) are the only players on the sidelines.
Andre Onana is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in front of him vs Nottingham Forest on Tuesday. The central defensive unit should feature Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, and Leny Yoro. Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu will likely start as the two wing-backs.
As for the midfield unit, Manuel Ugarte and Bruno Fernandes should pair up in the central areas, with Mason Mount being a backup option on the bench. Finally, Alejandro Garnacho will join Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee in the offensive trifecta.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:
Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, N Williams; Dominguez, Anderson; Jota, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Elanga
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Yoro; Dalot, Fernandes, Ugarte, Dorgu; Garnacho, Hojlund, Zirkzee

Prediction: Nottingham Forest 2-2 Manchester United
This has all of the makings of a wonderful match, and we are expecting goals on Tuesday night; Forest are the favourites on home soil, but Man United will be the fresher of the two teams, which should help to level it up. It would not be a surprise to see a home or indeed an away victory in this fixture, but we just have a feeling that the points will be shared in an entertaining 2-2 draw.
