Premier League confirm Nottingham Forest decision after Man United Europa League win

Nottingham Forest's upcoming home game against Manchester United in the Premier League has been rescheduled.

The fixture has been switched due to Manchester United's progression in the Europa League after beating Real Betis. Having gone through to the next round of the competition, they will now play on Thursday, April 13.

As a result, their trip to the City Ground has been put back to Sunday, April 16, giving them an extra day to prepare for the fixture. It will also give Forest an extra day to recover and prepare after their trip to Villa Park the previous weekend.

The move means the game against Man United will be shown on Sky Sports as part of Super Sunday, with kick-off at 16:30 GMT.

Forest's game being rescheduled has had a slight knock-on effect for East Midlands rivals Leicester City, with their difficult trip to high-flying Manchester City being put back to 17:30 on Saturday, April 15. That was the slot Forest had previously been set to occupy.

Meanwhile, Forest now have an international break to rest, recoup and prepare for their next Premier League game, which will be against Wolves at the City Ground on Saturday, April 1.

Where do you think Forest will finish this season? Let us know in the comments.
