Nottingham Forest had 34 percent of the possession and two shots on target. Two games ago against Leeds United they were defeated 2-1.

Varane and Martinez were both hurt in their midweek game, and now they Manchester United is also going to be shorthanded.

Shane’s Free Pick
Both of these teams have a lot of key players hurt and there is a lot of concern on both sides. I don’t expect Manchester United’s offense to run up the score though, and that is going to give some advantage to Nottingham Forest. They might not win this game, but they are going to keep it close. Back Nottingham Forest +0.5.
