This weekend has provided a lucrative chance for United to capitalise on their rivals’ losses and cement their place in the Champions League spots. Third-placed Newcastle suffered a 3-0 defeat to a rampant Aston Villa in the Midlands, so United can move up to third with a win this afternoon against Nottingham Forest.
As well as that, fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur conceded an injury-time goal to Bournemouth to round off a shock 3-2 win for the Cherries. Should United win, they’ll hold a six-point advantage over Spurs having played one less game.
Today’s match is a must-win
Erik ten Hag’s side must overcome their trip to The City Ground though and see out a victory. Forest are 18th and desperately seeking survival, so the Trees will put up a real fight on their home turf in front of their faithful supporters.
