It's a big weekend at Old Trafford as Manchester United look to lock down third place in the Premier League with just a point needed against Nottingham Forest. The Red Devils currently sit on 65 points after a hard-fought scoreless draw with Sunderland in Week 36, and while a Champions League spot is already secured, interim boss Michael Carrick will be eager to close the season on a high note. Every win counts when you're in the running for the permanent job.
Forest, meanwhile, are fighting to keep their heads up after a tough Europa League exit. They showed some fight in their last match, rallying from behind to draw with Newcastle, but a trip to the Theatre of Dreams is a whole different challenge. The Tricky Trees will need to dig deep to avoid finishing the season on a low.
Team news could be decisive. United may still be without key players Benjamin Sesko and Casemiro, while Forest have their own injury concerns, including doubts over Murillo and Morgan Gibbs-White. With both sides carrying question marks, this one has all the makings of a tight contest.
