    Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has praised the "courage and selflessness" of those caught up in a mass stabbing on a train on Saturday night.

    Eleven people were injured and received hospital treatment after the attack, which took place on a train travelling from Doncaster to London.

    Two British men in their thirties were arrested and police said there was currently "nothing to suggest" it was a terror incident.

    Forest said some of the club's London-based supporters were travelling home from their fixture against Manchester United.

    "The Club is aware that many individuals demonstrated extraordinary bravery which undoubtedly helped prevent even greater harm," a statement read.

    "The entire Nottingham Forest family stands firmly behind them as they recover from the events of yesterday."

    Evangelos Marinakis, Nottingham Forest's owner, said: "Everyone at Nottingham Forest is shocked and deeply saddened by what happened. The courage and selflessness shown by our supporters on that train represents the very best of humanity and the very best of our club's community.

    "We will make sure any supporter caught up in this incident receives whatever financial support they require to enable them to access the best possible medical care as they recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected."

  2. Analysis: Anderson shines in midfield battlepublished at 19:44 GMT 1 November

    Seven days ago, one of the central midfielders heavily linked with a move to Manchester United - Brighton's Carlos Baleba - failed to shine at Old Trafford.

    Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson is another, but he did much better against Ruben Amorim's team.

    Anderson played with an energy Baleba lacked. He was aware of danger, nipping in to seize possession from Matheus Cunha close to his own area midway through the first half, and he was not worried about chasing down lost causes, as he did to retrieve a ball that seemed certain to roll over the line in front of the home dugout.

    He picked his moments to push forward and would have been in a shooting position close to goal had he been able to control Callum Hudson-Odoi's short pass on the edge of the area just before half-time.

    The England international was also involved in Forest's equaliser, helping to ferry the ball to the right where Ryan Yates floated it in for Morgan Gibbs-White to head home.

    Once Forest were in front, Anderson worked tirelessly to keep United at bay.

    The way he maintained his discipline - with and without the ball - to not stray out of position was impressive. He was also not scared of a tactical foul as he brought down Bruno Fernandes late in the game, close to the halfway line, as the visiting captain threatened a dangerous counter-attack.

    Anderson might have won it at the end for the home side, but his shot hit Luke Shaw and flashed wide.

  3. Nottingham Forest 2-2 Man Utd: What Dyche and Gibbs-White saidpublished at 17:16 GMT 1 November

    Media caption,

    Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche has been speaking to Sky Sports about the controversial corner that led to Manchester United's first goal: "It's not inconclusive, I've seen it back. That's two decisions that are incorrect that have gone against us. They [the assistant referees] give corners that aren't corners. They gave one last week and one this week.

    "It is a really poor decision that decides a lot. We are fighting for our lives to get up the table."

    Nottingham Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White has also been speaking to Sky Sports about the result: "It is good to get a point, but the dressing room is frustrated to not get all three [points]. We conceded two silly corners, and I don't think the first one was even a corner.

    "From where I was standing, I was pretty far away, but all the boys were saying at half-time that the ball hadn't gone out. It is something that needs looking at because it has cost us two extra points today.

    "It is time to kick on. We need to start getting more points."

    Did you know?

    • Sean Dyche has only won one of his 19 Premier League matches against Manchester United (D6 L12). Only against Manchester City (0.33) does he have a lower points-per-game ratio in the competition than against the Red Devils (0.47).

    • Nottingham Forest have conceded 16 Premier League goals from set pieces (excluding penalties) this year - the most of any team in the competition in 2025.

  4. Nottingham Forest v Man Utd: Team news published at 14:16 GMT 1 November

    Nottingham Forest starting XI: Sels, Savona, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams, Douglas Luiz, Anderson, Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Igor Jesus

    Sean Dyche resists the temptation to make changes to the side that lost at Bournemouth last Sunday, as he looks to win their first league game since the opening weekend.

    Former Manchester City youngster James McAtee has still started just once since his £30m summer move.

    Substitutes: John Victor, Morato, Sangare, Awoniyi, Kalimuendo, Hutchinson, Yates, Jair Cunha, McAtee

    Ruben Amorim names an unchanged side as Manchester United chase a fourth successive win, which would move them up to second in the Premier League table.

    Harry Maguire returns to the bench after missing last week's victory against Brighton with a minor injury.

    Manchester United XI: Lammens, Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw, Amad, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Dalot, Mbeumo, Cunha, Sesko

  6. Sutton's predictions: Nottingham Forest v Man Utdpublished at 12:34 GMT 1 November

    The Nottingham Forest fans seem to be happy with Sean Dyche as manager and I think they will be patient with him - he has that affiliation with the club after starting his playing career there.

    I think they might have to wait a bit longer for his first Premier League win, though.

    Manchester United have picked up a bit, and Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha are proving me right after I said in the summer they would prove to be great signings.

    They bring great variation when they play together - Mbeumo runs in behind, while Cunha comes deep looking for the ball to feet - and they both link the attack so well.

    Defensively, there are still problems with United, however.

    They have put together a three-game winning streak but they are not at the stage where I trust them to turn up every week, and I can see that run coming to an end here.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1
