How both teams go into Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd
Nottingham Forest are closing in on a return to the Champions League. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are odds-on to finish in the top four this season, and it’s what they deserve. Only Liverpool (21) have won more Premier League games this season than Forest’s 16, who have taken 54 points from their 29 games. There’s a chance that top five would be enough for Champions League football next season, and Forest have a healthy seven-point gap. They went into the international break unbeaten in three, winning their past two.
Man Utd are also on an unbeaten run in the Premier League, going four games without defeat. That run has seen them win two and draw two, alternating results. But they’re still languishing in the bottom half of the table. Ruben Amorim’s side are 17 points behind Forest, and have a seven-point gap to the top half. They’ve lost more games than they have won in the Premier League this season and have a negative goal difference. European football seems too far from a league finish, so Man Utd may opt to focus on the Europa League.
