Manchester United will head to the City Ground without a number of key players to face Nottingham Forest this afternoon (4:30pm).
United boss Erik ten Hag will be without Lisandro Martinez, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season after fracturing a metatarsal bone in his foot, while Raphael Varane is also facing a few weeks on the sidelines.
Main man Marcus Rashford is still nursing a groin injury, along with Donny Van de Beek (knee) and goalkeeper Tom Heaton (ankle). However, United will be boosted by the return of left-back Luke Shaw and possibly Scott McTominay who is set to undergo a late assessment.

With that said, NottinghamshireLive takes a look at the line-up ten Hag may opt for.
In the absence of Varane and Martinez, Harry Maguire will be partnered with Victor Lindelof in the heart of defence, while Shaw is expected to replace Tyrell Malacia following his disappointing display against Sevilla on Thursday.
Casemiro will return to midfield after missing out four weeks through suspension. Bruno Fernandes will continue to play in the deep role, while Marcel Sabitzer retains his place along with Antony and Jadon Sacho out wide.
Anthony Martial is expected to continue providing cover in the absence of Rashford and lead the line in attack.
Man United predicted XI: De Gea, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Fernandes, Sabitzer, Antony, Martial, Sancho.
