Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest live stream: match preview
Manchester United can almost smell the hallowed turf at Wembley as they welcome Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford for the second leg of this Carabao Cup semi-final today. Can the Tricky Trees overturn a hefty 3-0 first-leg deficit?
Manchester United beat Reading in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday night, but the focus tonight will be on reaching the final of a different domestic cup. The Red Devils' league form has suffered a slight wobble in recent weeks, with points dropped at both Arsenal and Crystal Palace, but their 3-0 win in last week's first leg was convincing. United last reached the final of the Carabao Cup in 2017, when they beat Southampton to lift the trophy under Jose Mourinho. Can they secure another appearance here?
There are six changes to the side that knocked Reading out at the weekend. Tom Heaton, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Fred and Alejandro Garnacho all start, while on the bench Jadon Sancho makes his long-awaited return to the matchday squad.
Nottingham Forest have had a full week to prepare for this second leg, having been eliminated from the FA Cup in the third round. They've only won once on the road against Premier League opposition this season – away to fellow strugglers Southampton – and history is not on Forest's side here. No team has ever overturned a three-goal deficit in a Carabao Cup semi-final, so Steve Cooper's side will have to break records if they're going to gazump their opponents and book a trip to Wembley.
Forest make four changes from the first leg, with Worrall, Aurier and Danilo dropping to the bench, while Gibbs-White is unavailable through injury. Mangala, Williams, Boly and former Red Devil Jesse Lingard come in.
Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest kicks off at 8pm GMT / 3pm ET today, Wednesday 1st February, at Old Trafford. Make sure you know how to watch a Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest live stream.
