Wembley beckons for Manchester United, who welcome Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford with a three-goal lead in the bag from the first leg of the EFL Cup ...

"Like any window, you want to close it with the squad in a stronger place," Steve Cooper said ahead of the window closing. In this game of all games, surely there is an argument to simply play the backups and trust them to hold on to a convincing lead? The United boss has not been one to heavily rotate a side that is competing on four fronts, asking a great deal of Marcus Rashford and Casemiro, among others.

Meanwhile, Forest have little to realistically play for, and could decide to protect their important healthy players — which could lead to a weaker lineup. In their four matches against Manchester City, Arsenal, and Man United, they’ve conceded at least three goals in each. As such, Man United are overwhelming betting favorites, with the draw offering nearly four times your stake and a Forest win paying around +650. We help you find the best one in our Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest picks and predictions for Wednesday, February 1. Rotation or not, Manchester United should roll in this one. I’m not sure even parlaying the Man United moneyline would provide much value. Manchester United have won their last 11 matches at Old Trafford in all competitions, and seven of those have seen the Red Devils leading at intermission. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, have just three wins in 13 away fixtures this season, losing seven times. Even with rotation, Manchester United will have the stronger side on Wednesday. The likes of Rashford are expected to get some rest, considering Man United — with this match included — are about to embark on a stretch of 10 matches over 33 days. For Nottingham Forest, they’ve had a week to sit and reflect on their defeat with no matches played. But for Erik ten Hag, the match presents a real need to rotate the squad, and with that comes a window of opportunity for the visitors.

5th min: United start the match with a prolonged period of possession, ending in a long pass from Lisandro Martinez that almost put Bruno Fernandes in on goal. 18th min: Alejandro Garnacho shows quick feet in the box and goes to ground, but there wasn't much contact and a goal kick is given. 25th min: A Bruno Fernandes corner is half-cleared, and Emmanuel Dennis bizarrely plays it the way he's facing when in space. The Forest keeper sticks out his right foot to save and the rebound just evades Lisandro Martinez. Jadon Sancho has just come out for a warm-up and gets a loud round of applause from the Stretford End. Brennan Johnson managed to worm his way past Casemiro's challenge and suddenly he was through on goal, but he shot straight at the United keeper from a narrow angle. Luke Shaw delivers a free-kick from the left and Casemiro nods it low and back across goal. HT: The half ends with a booking for Sam Surridge for a late challenge on Raphael Varane. The Forest defender was about to clear the ball when Wout Weghorst nicked it away, and he swung his foot right into the United striker. He delays his pass to Marcus Rashford and eventually underhits it, but the ball is blocked back into Martial's path and he fires left-footed into the bottom-right corner. Casemiro finds Anthony Martial with a first-time pass and suddenly the Red Devils are in on goal. The rebound falls to Surridge, but he's stretching to turn it back towards goal and he can't control the strike, which flies over the bar.
