Sean Dyche has been handed a difficult start to his tenure at Nottingham Forest, with an opening game defeat against AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League last time out. Depending on how effectively the former Burnley manager can implement his tactical ideology on Nottingham Forest, it may be a while before the side shows any consistency in the Premier League, given their recent form.
The Reds have lost their last four league matches, failing to score in each, while conceding first in six of their last seven in all competitions. In fact, Nottingham Forest have only scored once in the Premier League in their last seven matches, when they drew 1-1 with Burnley. Nottingham Forest have also failed to pick up a league win since the opening game of the season, during which time there have been two different managers at the City Ground.
Ruben Amorim's managerial career at Manchester United has come under severe scrutiny; however, recent results are slowly turning the momentum in favour of the former Sporting Lisbon manager. The Red Devils have ended their barren spell of consecutive wins, achieving their first league win at Anfield since 2016 and beating a Brighton side that had won their last three league meetings at Old Trafford.
The notable changes in recent weeks have been the subject of slight changes by Ruben Amorim. His side still concedes goals and have their moments during games where a collapse could happen, evidenced by the Brighton game where they almost capitulated a three-goal lead. Although his changes to the way his midfield has set up and his reluctance to concede possession when playing out from the back, opting to go more direct, have reflected in the results over the weeks.
Ruben Amorim's side are finally in the ascendancy, and we think that may continue here with a 2-1 win against Nottingham Forest.
Nottingham Forest 1-2 Manchester United
