In the early hours of Thursday morning, the fierce battle continued in the fifth round of the English Football Cup. Nottingham Forest will face Manchester United at home. Both sides have had their own problems recently. The home team has been difficult to maintain stability recently, and Manchester United is full of injured soldiers. This year Both teams may adopt a more cautious style of play in each game, and a draw will be inevitable.
Nottingham Forest's recent record has been ups and downs. You must know that the team has defeated West Ham before and successfully got out of the quagmire of 8 games (regular time) in all competitions. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. They lost to Arsenal 2-4 in their last battle. Stonewall Villa was hit again. In this game, Nottingham Forest will play in the fifth round of the English Football Cup. In this tournament, they have not won a single game (regular time). So far, the two rounds of games have to go through make-up, overtime or ten minutes. Only two yards can defeat the opponent and advance, and the advancement process is quite difficult. However, it is worth noting that although their opponent Manchester United is very competitive this time, in the last meeting between the two sides, Nottingham Forest relied on the goals of midfielder Nicholas Domingos and Morgan Kibbethwaite to win. Defeating the opponent 2-1 and breaking the curse of many years, it can be seen that even if the promotion process of the Football Cup is a bit uneven, the team will not lose mentally when facing Manchester United. It is not a big problem to keep the home court in this game. In terms of the lineup, forward Keith Wood and defender Willy Bonny were unable to play due to different reasons.
Manchester United had previously won five consecutive victories in all competitions. Just when the outside world thought they could continue their winning streak from Fulham, the team suffered a blow. The former conceded again in stoppage time and ended up losing 1-2. Being killed by the opponent ended the winning streak. As the saying goes, it rained all night. Manchester United already had a long list of injured players, including defender Sor and Lisindo Martinis and many other players who were absent from the game against Fulham due to injuries. , midfielder Carlos Kasimilu suffered a head injury, and it is unknown whether he can play in this game. It can be seen that their lineup is once again in a dilemma of missing something and leaking in the west. Even though forward Marcus Rashford has scored against Nottingham Forest in the last match, his form this season has been quite up and down. He is often ridiculed by the outside world for only working hard and not putting in any effort. The jersey he wears remains the same after a game. All in all, if Manchester United relies on his performance alone, it will be difficult to win the game. The best way is to consolidate the defense.
