Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd preview

It was a Boxing Day to remember for Nottingham Forest and Manchester United.

The former were impressive against a toiling Newcastle side at St James' Park, coming from behind to win 3-1.

Chris Wood notched an impressive hat trick and they could have scored more in truth.

While United also did it the hard way by coming from behind, this time against high-flying Aston Villa.

Erik ten Hag went odds-on to be the next managerial casualty during half time when 2-0 down at Old Trafford.

But an Alejandro Garnacho inspired United came out swinging in the second half, with Rasmus Hojlund grabbing the winner in the 3-2 win.

United have won the last 11 meetings between the sides in all competitions - stretching back to 1996.

Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd betting tips

Both teams to score and Man Utd to win at 14/5 with Ladbrokes -

Both teams will be buzzing from midweek and it could be a really good game.

United just have that bit more quality across the park though and Hojlund's goal could be the start of good things for him.

That historic run of wins could be extended here but the defence remains supect.

Garnacho 2+ shots on target at 10/3 with Paddy Power -

He was the star at Old Trafford just a couple of days ago.

Garnacho now just needs to show that level of form over a longer period of time.

Has shown he can play on any wing and generates plenty of chances for himself.

Anthony Elanga to score or assist at 9/4 with Paddy Power -

Elanga has shown himself to be a potent threat for Forest and he can show that against his former side.

Bagged two assists at St James' Park and scored the week prior.

Also a disallowed goal in the game prior - showing he's a threat in his new attacking position.
