Steve Coopers Forest have had a great resurgence in recent months and after all of their new signings after gaining promotion back to the Premier League last summer, this talented squad finally has the right balance and is gelling. Forest know they need to be level, at the very least, when this game finishes as the Tricky Trees face the very tricky task of heading to Old Trafford for the second leg. They are four games unbeaten in the Premier League and have pushed themselves away from the relegation zone with that run.

This semifinal first leg could have come at a better for United. They lost at Arsenal 3-2 after a gruelling encounter on Sunday and Erik ten Hag would have wanted a longer turnaround time to prepare for this huge game. Still, Uniteds squad is deep and they have rotated it extremely well in recent weeks. Erik ten Hag wants to bring trophies back to Old Trafford and the Red Devils will be hoping to blow Forest away in the first leg to all but seal their spot in the final at Wembley.
