The return of the Premier League, then. It’s been a while, what with World Cup qualifiers, the Nations League, FA Cup quarters, all that. So here’s a reminder of how the division looks as we head into this full round of midweek fixtures. Forest are looking to consolidate third spot, as they chase a Champions League spot and a chance to bid for European Cup number three. United’s most realistic hope of continental competition next season is to win this year’s Europa League, though barreling up the standings to finish in the qualifying positions isn’t mathematically out of the question. First things first, getting back in the top half, of which they’re currently seven points adrift.
Forest make one change to their starting XI following their FA Cup quarter-final win at Brighton last weekend. Anthony Elanga, formerly of United, comes in for Nicolás Domínguez, who drops to the bench. Leading scorer Chris Wood is still sidelined with a hip problem, while Callum Hudson-Odoi is also missing this evening.
