Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United: Carabao Cup prediction, team news, kick-off time, TV stream today

Marc Mayo25 January 2023

Nottingham Forest host Manchester United in the second Carabao Cup semi-final later today.

With home advantage for the first leg, the onus could be on Steve Cooper’s side to take the game to United in their first appearance at this stage of the competition since falling to the Red Devils in the 1992 final.

Forest have plenty of history in a trophy they have won four times.

But United can count five triumphs on their record, with the Carabao Cup in 2017 still their most recent domestic honour.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off tonight, Wednesday, January 25, 2023.

The match will take place at the City Ground.
