In-form Manchester United could temporarily jump into the Premier League’s top two with victory at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Red Devils are brimming with confidence for the first time under Ruben Amorim having beaten Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion on the spin. Despite a late scare against the Seagulls last weekend, United marched to a 4–2 victory courtesy of their reinvented forward line.
United’s purple patch has seen them rise to sixth in the Premier League table—ahead of both Liverpool and Chelsea—but Amorim will be warning against complacency given his side’s track record against Forest.
Amorim lost both meetings with Forest last season and is facing Sean Dyche in the dugout, who is certain to prioritise a defensive approach against the Red Devils.
The former Burnley and Everton manager has overseen just two matches in charge of the Midlands side, beginning with a 2–0 victory against Porto in the Europa League before falling to defeat at Bournemouth by the same scoreline. Forest, who are on their third manager of the season already, remain an unpredictable entity.
Here is guide to a crunch clash.
