The Red Devils’ revival has lifted the mood around Old Trafford, but they’ll be wary of a Forest side that’s beaten them in each of the last three league meetings - a run stretching back to 2023.
Dyche’s men, however, are still waiting for their first Premier League goal under his leadership and remain in the relegation zone heading into this round.

Manchester United win or draw (Double chance)
Manchester United’s recent form suggests they’ve finally found their rhythm under Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils were one of only three sides to win all their Premier League games in October, scoring 14 goals in the process - the most of any team in that span.
That turnaround has been spearheaded by a sharper attack, with both new signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha finding their stride.
While United have lost their last two league visits to the City Ground, Forest’s current struggles make the 33/100 odds on Bet365 for a United double chance look like strong value. With United’s momentum growing, they should at least avoid defeat here.
Tip: Manchester United win or draw (Double chance) @ 33/100
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Manchester United avoid defeat against Nottingham Forest.
Over 1.5 goals
Both sides’ recent patterns suggest we should see goals at the City Ground. United’s resurgence has been fuelled by a more attacking brand of football, and each of their last six Premier League fixtures have featured at least two goals. Amorim’s men have found the net in three straight games and will be confident of continuing that streak.
Forest, meanwhile, will be eager to end their scoring drought, and Dyche’s teams tend to rely on set pieces and direct play to create chances.
With both sides needing a positive result, the 11/50 odds on Bet365 for over 1.5 goals offer a safe and realistic selection.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least two goals scored in the game between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United.
Bryan Mbeumo to play 2+ shots
Since joining Manchester United, Mbeumo has quickly become one of their most productive forwards. The Cameroonian has been directly involved in 20 Premier League goals in 2025 (14 goals, 6 assists), trailing only Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah in total goal contributions.
He’s also attempted multiple shots in each of his last six league games, averaging over three per match.
Given his form and confidence, especially against sides in the lower half of the table, Mbeumo to register at least two shots looks a strong selection at 3/10 with Bet365. Forest’s defence has looked vulnerable to quick, wide attacks, exactly the type of spaces Mbeumo thrives in. Expect him to test Matz Sels early and often.
Tip: Bryan Mbeumo to play 2+ shots @ 3/10
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Bryan Mbeumo plays at least two shots against Nottingham Forest.
