Manchester United travel to City Ground for today’s Premier League encounter against Nottingham Forest.

The Red Devils have won three league games on the bounce and will be eyeing another win against the Tricky Trees.

United have lost their last three meetings against Forest, but should fancy their chances of picking up a victory today.

They could finish the day in the top four if other results go their way.

Formation: 3-4-2-1

Predicted Line-up:

Senne Lammens has been an undisputed starter in goal for the last three games for United. He has been almost flawless with his performances and should continue between the sticks ahead of Altay Bayindir.

We expect one change to the backline. Noussair Mazraoui could replace Leny Yoro in the backline. The latter was shaky at different stages against Brighton and manager Ruben Amorim may want someone, who is better in one-on-one duels.

Mazraoui should be partnered by Matthijs de Ligt and Luke Shaw in the back three, while Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot are expected to continue in the right and left wing-back roles.

No changes are likely in the midfield department. Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes have formed a solid partnership in the last three victories, and they are guaranteed to continue.

In the final third, Benjamin Sesko could be dropped to the bench again. Amorim previously started him on the bench against Liverpool, highlighting the aerial presence of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.

It could be a similar case with Forest possessing quality centre-backs in Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic, who are aerially dominant.

With Sesko out, Matheus Cunha could be tasked to lead the line, with Mason Mount coming in to partner Bryan Mbeumo in attacking midfield.

Predicted Man Utd line-up (3-4-2-1) vs Nottm Forest: Lammens; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Mount; Cunha.
