It's true that Nottingham Forest are not as good as Manchester United in terms of overall results, but when they meet traditionally strong teams, they have often overplayed, including beating United 2-1 at home in the Premier League at the end of December last year. Last month, they only lost 1-2 to Arsenal, which was a big surprise. Most importantly, Forest's home matches in the EFL Cup have produced cold results from time to time, including two wins over Arsenal. In total, they have won five, drawn two and lost one of their last eight EFL Cup home matches in legal time, with their only defeat coming at the hands of Liverpool (0-1). The only defeat was 0-1 to Liverpool. Forest's win over Manchester United in the league this season will boost the players' confidence and they will try to take advantage of the opponent's lack of strength to beat the Red Devils again.
Manchester United, after entering the year 2024, have been able to win a lot of matches, to a large extent because of striker Helen's good luck, once scoring in 6 consecutive matches in the EPL. However, after the Danish international's injury, the Red Devils' forward line immediately reverted to its original form, and the last match had to rely on center back Harry Makouni to score first, but it was still hard to escape a defeat. As the striker Lashford's form is in the doldrums, Alejandro Canazo's standard is unstable, it is not easy to see how Manchester United will be able to score in this game, plus the goalkeeper O'Connor often makes mistakes, which is also the team's major weak point.
In addition, Manchester United will play the role of Manchester City in the Premier League, this "pyramid battle" is undoubtedly more important than the English football, the leader of the team Tannhäuser may still have a hand in this game, so that Forest will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
