We simulated Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United to get a Premier League score prediction

Manchester United could make it three Premier League wins on the bounce and potentially move into third place when they face Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

After flying into a 2-0 lead against Sevilla on Thursday night, United conceded two late goals and suffered some crucial injuries as they drew 2-2 in their Europa League quarter-finals first leg. Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane both left the pitch with knocks, with Erik ten Hag confirming both will be absent for Sunday.

Forest currently sit 18th in the Premier League, with Steve Cooper’s side winless in nine. The two sides have already met three times this season, with the aggregate score 8-0 to United

So, can United continue their winning run in the Premier League? We've used FIFA 23 take a look.

To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the respective squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Forest could set up in a 4-3-2-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Navas; Williams, Felipe, McKenna, Toffolo; Danilo, Freuler, Shelvey; Gibbs-White, Johnson; Awoniyi.

We predict that United could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Malacia; Sabitzer, Casemiro; Antony, Fernandes, Sancho; Martial.

Despite their many absentees at the back, United held off a flurry of Forest attacks in the opening stages and quickly took control after. Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial were both impressive going forward for United, and after 25 minutes, the two linked up to make it 1-0.

As Forest pushed out of defence, Casemiro intercepted a loose pass in the middle to start a United attack in a dangerous position.
