Man United also come into this game on a positive run of form. After securing a massive victory against Liverpool at Old Trafford thanks to a Kobbie Mainoo goal late on, Man United followed that up with a goalless stalemate against Sunderland last time out. Even though that was an underwhelming result in the circumstances, it extended their unbeaten run to four matches. 

Man United have secured their Champions League spot for next season, and they have typically been a lot more entertaining to watch at home this season. BTTS has landed in each of their last five Premier League matches at Old Trafford, where they are averaging 3.22 goals per game in the league this season.

It finished 2-2 when the sides met in the reverse fixture at the City Ground, and another open encounter is expected on Sunday.

Forest only conceded one corner against Newcastle in their most recent outing, but they have typically seen an increase in corners conceded when playing away. They are averaging 3.94 corners against at the City Ground this season, compared to 5.67 when playing on the road, which shows how they tend to be a lot more passive when playing away. 

Man United should be able to dominate proceedings here, and they have landed this selection in five of their last six home games, with the only miss coming against Liverpool. They are averaging 5.17 corners per game at Old Trafford this season, while Forest gave away 10 corners against Chelsea last time out, meaning they are conceding 5.67 corners per game when playing away in the league this season. Man United have also cleared this mark in each of their last 10 head-to-head encounters against Forest.

Neco Williams looks set to continue in a wing back role for Forest this weekend, as Ola Aina remains sidelined through injury and Murillo is also doubtful. The Welshman captained his side against Newcastle last time out, and he played on the right flank - opposite to his usual position, but he still performed well. Williams is averaging 1.3 shots per 90 across all competitions this season, which is already quite high for a defender, and if he continues in his wing back role that number should only rise further as he is given more attacking freedom. 

The former Liverpool man will also have added motivation to make his mark at Old Trafford this weekend, and he has registered a shot in each of his last four starts against them. He has also been booked twice, which shows how he takes things up a gear against this opponent.

Vitor Pereira has opted for a different shape in the last few weeks, listing two strikers in his starting XI. Igor Jesus has started alongside either Taiwo Awoniyi or Chris Wood, and the Brazilian has played in a slightly deeper role. That has led to an uptick in fouls for Igor Jesus, as he gets more involved in more duels across the pitch. He racked up three fouls and was carded against Newcastle last time out, taking his average to 1.65 fouls per 90 across all competitions this season. 

That figure rises steeply to 1.86 when playing away, when Forest typically have a lot more defensive work to get through. That should be the case again this weekend, with Man United likely to dominate possession on home turf, which means Igor Jesus should have plenty of chasing to do.

Bruno Fernandes is chasing the all-time Premier League assists record, and he comes into this clash in exceptional form. With 19 assists to his name from 33 appearances this campaign, the Portuguese needs just one more to equal the record of 20, held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne, and he will be desperate to match or even beat the record in front of a home crowd. 

Fernandes has played 15 Premier League games under Michael Carrick, and he has provided an assist in nine of those - since being utilised in his more natural number 10 position, the Man United captain has really hit top form again. 

He registered an assist in the reverse fixture at the City Ground, contributing to the first goal of the game as his side were held to a 2-2 draw, meaning he has landed this selection in three of his last six starts against Forest.

Bruno Fernandes delivered the pinpoint cross in the reverse fixture, which was turned in by Casemiro, and those two have formed a formidable partnership in the final third this season. The Brazilian also has an exceptional record against Nottingham Forest, having scored in three of his last four starts against them.

Casemiro has been a constant threat going forward this season, and he has chipped in with nine goals from his 33 league appearances. He is averaging 1.75 shots per 90 across all competitions, rising to 2.05 when playing at home, where he has landed this selection in each of his last eight consecutive starts. He has also found the back of his net in four matches in that stretch.

Vitor Pereira has had to contend with a couple of key absentees at the back, so he has switched to a back three in recent weeks to provide additional defensive cover. That has been good news for Morato, who has started each of the last three matches, and the Brazil international is likely to operate on the left side of that back three again here. 

Morato doesn't shy away from a strong challenge, and despite only starting 27 matches across all competitions this season, he has picked up nine cards in that time. Operating in a back three, he usually has a bit more licence to be aggressive in his duels and looks to get tight to his opposing attacker. He is averaging just 0.87 fouls per 90 across all competitions this season, but a large percentage of his infringements this season have been cynical and worthy of a yellow card.
