Command Analysis
Manchester United
EnglandLast week, Manchester United defeated Burnley (2:0) to reach the quarterfinals of the League Cup. This is their first League Cup quarterfinal since 2017. The team is hopeful and eager to get into the top-4 in the Premier League - right now, the Red Devils are in 5th place in the table with 26 points from 14 games.
The hosts are looking to extend their fantastic five-game series of home victories. They won four out of those five games with a clean sheet and were successful in 18 out of 19 games against the newly promoted teams.
The hosts will be without Sancho, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Maguire, and Tuanzebe have been ruled out of this game.
Nottingham Forest
EnglandSteve Cooper's men are coming into this fixture off the back of a confident victory over Blackburn (4:1) in the League Cup. Nottingham Forest have successfully made it into the quarterfinals of the competition, too. That gave them confidence and could boost their Premier League campaign.
The Tricky Trees won the two games before the international break but didn't do well in the friendlies. They weren't particularly imressive on their travels this season, collecting only two points in away games and conceding 19 goals. Currently, the visiting team is in 18th place in the standings with 13 points.
Richards, Henderson, Gibbs-White, Biancone, Kouyate, Niakhate, Aurier are unavailable for the Tricky Trees this Tuesday.
