Nottingham Forest vs Man United lineups
Forest boss Steve Cooper has named a strong side as he looks to secure a famous date at Wembley.
First-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson is carrying an injury but is ineligible against his parent club anyway, with Wayne Hennessey filling in, but his Wales international teammate Neco Williams is only on the bench. New signing Danilo makes his first start.
Omar Richards, Taiwo Awoniyi and new signing Chris Wood are out, and Ryan Yates has not recovered from illness, but Jesse Lingard has made the squad against his old club.
Nottingham Forest starting XI (4-3-1-2): Hennessey (GK) — Aurier, Worrall, McKenna, Lodi — Danilo, Freuler, Gibbs-White — Scarpa — Surridge, Johnson
Nottingham Forest subs: Smith (GK), Cook, Colback, O'Brien, Boly, Lingard, Mangala, Smith, Williams, Dennis
Ten Hag is also battling to keep his squad fresh across multiple competitions, and he makes three changes from the 3-2 Premier League defeat at Arsenal last weekend.
Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane and Scott McTominay drop out, with Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelof and Casemiro — who was suspended for the game with the Gunners — coming in.
Diogo Dalot, Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho are still sidelined, while Harry Maguire is banned due to yellow cards accrued in earlier rounds. Teenager Kobbie Mainoo is on the bench again.
Man Utd starting XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Martinez, Malacia — Casemiro, Eriksen — Antony, Fernandes, Rashford — Weghorst
Man Utd subs: Heaton (GK), Williams, Varane, Mainoo, McTominay, Fred, Elanga, Pellistri, Garnacho
Nottingham Forest vs Man United prediction, odds
Forest will sense this game is their chance to gain an edge in the two-legged contest with a trip to Old Trafford next month presenting a major challenge.
They have already knocked out Tottenham and Wolves to reach the semifinals, and a positive result is not beyond them against a rotated United side.
