(PA)

Nottingham Forest will be hoping to build on their 3-1 victory over Newcastle on Boxing Day when they host Manchester United at the City Ground in Saturday’s late kick off.

Forest won their first match under new boss Nuno Espirito Santo when Chris Wood bagged a hat-trick against the Magpies and the Portuguese will want to continue to develop the side with a positive result today.

Manchester United, meanwhile, can move closer to the top four if they are victorious. Erik ten Hag’s men fought back from two goals down to defeat Aston Villa 3-2 last time out. Alejandro Garnacho continued to show why he’s a rising star with two goals and Rasmus Hojlund scored his first ever goal in the English top flight.

OFF THE POST! The woodwork denies Dalot. The full-back is found by Wan-Bissaka on the edge of the box, and is desperately unlucky to see his first-time attempt ricochet against the right upright.

You must go back to a 3-2 defeat against Blackburn Rovers in 2011 for the last time United lost their final league game in a calendar year. The visitors need to show more here if they are to keep that streak going.

A mix-up between Eriksen and Garnacho enables Niakhate to continue to advance down the right flank. The defender sends in a cross, which deflects behind for a goal-kick via Elanga.

Eriksen feeds the ball into Rashford on the edge of the box. The England forward looks to backheel the return pass, but gets it all wrong and the ball runs through to Turner. Ten Hag looks far from impressed on the touchline.
