NOTTINGHAM FOREST head to Old Trafford for the first time in 24 years as they take on Manchester United.
Erik ten Hag’s side looked to be improving week in week out during the first half of the season but the Premier League took a break in November and December.

Team news
Manchester United have a centre-back crisis on their hands with Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane given time off following their World Cup exploits.
And Harry Maguire is out due to illness, leaving Victor Lindelof the only recognised first-choice centre-back.
Erik ten Hag said: “We had some problems with illness like Harry Maguire, but he was back on the training pitch today so I’m happy with that.
“Returning from Rapha Varane and Licha Martinez, they are not there [back at United] but we hope on their comeback [soon].”
However, Diogo Dalot remains a doubt after missing their match with Burnley after sustaining an injury in Qatar.
Jesse Lingard will be in action against his former side
After registering consecutive victories over Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace, Forest will be looking to make it three in a row in the Premier League.
They have a fully fit squad as they head into the clash but Dean Henderson will not feature against his parent club due to the rules of his loan move.
Jesse Lingard will likely feature at Old Trafford for the first time since his departure in the summer.
Morgan Gibbs-White and Serge Aurier are both questionable after the pair picked up injuries but could feature at Old Trafford.
What are the odds?
Man Utd win 2/7
Draw 9/2
Nottingham Forest victory 9/1
Odds courtesy of Betfair are correct as of December 24.
