Match Facts
Nottingham Forest have lost their last 11 meetings with Manchester United in all competitions, including each of the last four at home by an aggregate score of 17-1.
Manchester United have won their last 11 meetings with Nottingham Forest in all competitions – only against Aston Villa (2003-2008) and Wigan Athletic (2005-2011) have they ever had longer winning runs (14 in both instances).
Nottingham Forest’s only Premier League win against Manchester United came at Old Trafford in December 1994 (2-1) – their last home league win against them was in March 1992, 1-0 thanks to a Nigel Clough strike.
Nottingham Forest have only won their final league game in one of the last nine calendar years (D2 L6), beating Wigan 1-0 in 2019. Their final game of 2022 was a 3-0 defeat to Manchester United.
Manchester United haven’t lost their final league game in any of the last 11 calendar years (W8 D3), since a 3-2 home loss to Blackburn Rovers in 2011. They’ve won each of the last five in a row.
Manchester United lost their previous Premier League game against an opponent starting the day in the bottom half of the table (0-3 v Bournemouth). They haven’t lost consecutive games against such opposition since October/November 2021, when they lost against Leicester (13th) and Watford (17th) under Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
Manchester United have failed to score in each of their last three Premier League away games, losing 1-0 to Newcastle, drawing 0-0 with Liverpool and losing 2-0 at West Ham. They’ve not gone four league games on the road without a goal since April 1989.
Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espírito Santo has only won one of his seven Premier League games against Manchester United (D3 L3), losing each of the last three in a row. Among teams he has faced 5+ times in the competition, only against Liverpool (0 wins in six) does he have a lower win percentage than against the Red Devils (14%).
With four goals and one assist, Chris Wood has been involved in each of Nottingham Forest’s last five Premier League goals. He has as many goal contributions in his last two league games (4 goals, 1 assist) as he had in his previous 27 combined (5 goals).
Man Utd’s Antony has only scored one goal in his last 18 away appearances in the Premier League, although that one strike did come in this exact fixture last season. Indeed, the Brazilian scored and assisted away to Nottingham Forest in April (a 2-0 win) – the only time he’s done so in a single game in the competition.
