Chris Sutton has predicted how the match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United at the City Ground will pan out.

So, what has Chris Sutton said about Nottingham Forest against Manchester United? Let’s take a look.

Chris Sutton predicts Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United

Well, Nottingham Forest will take on Manchester United this weekend. The Premier League match between Nuno’s side and Erik ten Hag’s team will be held at the City Ground and is scheduled to kick off at 5:30pm UK time on Saturday.

Former Aston Villa striker and BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton has backed United to win 2-1. However, he has admitted that he is not completely sure about his prediction.

Sutton told BBC Sport: “I really don’t know what to expect here. Manchester United were phenomenal in their second-half comeback to beat Villa, and I was really pleased to see Rasmus Hojlund get off the mark in the Premier League.

As for Nottingham Forest, I don’t know where their brilliant win at Newcastle or Chris Wood’s hat-trick came from.

“What will both teams do next? I am going to go with United to maintain their momentum, but I can’t say I am totally sure.

“Sutton’s prediction: 1-2.”

My View: Nottingham Forest will win

I am backing Nottingham Forest to win against Manchester United at the City Ground. I believe that Nuno’s team will eke out a narrow win in the Premier League game.

I do not expect it to be easy for Forest, though. United are a good team, and although they are inconsistent, they can turn on the style. Paul Merson thinks that it will be a draw.

The Red Devils have won two and lost three of their last six Premier League matches. Erik ten Hag’s side are clearly struggling to find consistency and rhythm.

Even against Aston Villa in midweek, they had to come from two goals down to win at Old Trafford. On the other hand, Forest convincingly beat Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.

Even last weekend, Forest could have drawn or even won against Bournemouth at the City Ground. After all, the Reds controversially went down 10 men midway through the first half and conceded a late winner.
