Team News and Predicted Lineups

Nottingham Forest and Manchester United will go head-to-head in the Premier League at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon, with both teams keen to add three points to their tally.

Sean Dyche’s side claimed a win over Porto in the Europa League last week but fell to defeat in the top-flight against Bournemouth in his first games in charge since replacing Ange Postecoglou, while Ruben Amorim’s team made it three consecutive wins with a 4-2 victory over Brighton last time out.

Both teams have some injury issues to deal with, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expects the sides to line up.

Nottingham Forest Team News

The Tricky Trees are being forced to deal with a number of injuries at the moment, especially at full-back, and they are unlikely to welcome anyone back from the treatment room for this game.

Chris Wood, Angus Gunn, Ola Aina, Dilane Bakwa and Oleksandr Zinchenko are all ruled out through injury.

Dyche Drops Team News Update

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Dyche shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.

Nottingham Forest Predicted XI

• Nottingham Forest Predicted XI: Sels; Savona, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Sangare, Anderson; Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Igor Jesus.
• Nottingham Forest Predicted Substitutes: Victor (GK), Cunha (DEF), Morato (DEF), Luiz (MID), Yates (MID), Dominguez (MID), McAtee (MID), Hutchinson (FWD), Kalimuendo (FWD).

Dyche is unlikely to make too many big changes to his team for this game, but he could bring in Ibrahim Sangare to bolster the midfield and bring more energy and stability.

That could see the summer signings Luiz and Arnaud Kalimuendo, who earn a combined £225,000-a-week, on the bench to provide great depth and firepower.

Man Utd Team News

Man Utd’s injury concerns are disappearing as the weeks go on, and the club have been able to welcome Lisandro Martinez back into full training this week following his ACL injury earlier this year.

The Argentine is still not in contention to play but is closing in on a return, and Harry Maguire is still a doubt with a knock, but the rest of the squad is fit and available.

Amorim Drops Team News Update

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Amorim shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.

Man Utd Predicted XI

• Manchester United Predicted XI: Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Mbeumo, Sesko, Cunha.
• Manchester United Predicted Substitutes: Bayindir (GK), Mazraoui (DEF), Malacia (DEF), Heaven (DEF), Dorgu (DEF), Ugarte (MID), Mainoo (MID), Mount (MID), Zirkzee (FWD).

After an impressive run of victories in recent games, Amorim is likely to go with an unchanged starting lineup at the City Ground.

That should see £350,000-a-week duo Mason Mount and Manuel Ugarte named on the bench, while Kobbie Mainoo will once again be forced to make an impact as a substitute.
