Nottingham Forest and Manchester United square off in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on Wednesday night at the City Ground with both teams hoping to advance to the finals....CONTINUE READING
The Tricky Trees narrowly defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers on penalties to advance to the final four, while the Red Devils easily defeated Charlton Athletic in the quarterfinals.
On February 1, the two teams will meet again at Old Trafford for the return leg in order to determine who will face Newcastle United or Southampton at Wembley.
Nottingham Forest are not to be treated lightly as they welcome Man United to a venue where they are undefeated in eight straight matches this season and have scored in 10 games in a row since August. This is especially true given that they have played six EFL Cup semi-final matches and advanced from all six.
Nottingham Forest potential lineup:
Hennessey; Aurier, Worrall, Boly, Lodi; Mangala, Danilo, Freuler; Scarpa; Johnson, Gibbs-White
Manchester United potential lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst
Kickoff time and date
The match is scheduled to be play on Wednesday night at precisely 9:00p.m.
