Nottingham Forest host Manchester United this Tuesday night as they ride the high of their FA Cup success. Nuno Espirito Santo's side are going to Wembley after beating Brighton on penalties to secure a semi-final place. That achievement added onto their already incredible Premier League campaign, as they sit third in the table. A Champions League spot awaits and a victory against Man United would move them ever closer to Europe's elite. But Ruben Amorim has his side in some of their best form since his arrival and they will want to keep that up. Amorim has had a tough time at United so far but things have started to turnaround for him. He's still not managed a usually simple feat for the Red Devils though, so he'll want to get that done here. United have not won back-to-back Premier League games at any point this season. Amorim's side and strugglers Southampton and Ipswich are the only teams to not win successive matches. But after their victory over Leicester, United have a chance to achieve a season-first and continue their form. Three more points would potentially move them up to 12th. However, despite a draw keeping their unwanted streak going, it would be a decent result against an in-form Forest. Chris Wood will likely miss this game after picking up a hip issue on international duty for New Zealand. Wood has seen a specialist about his injury but he's not expected to be fit enough to feature for Nottingham Forest. As for Man United, they are close to getting some injured players back including Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Mason Mount. Patrick Dorgu is back from suspension while Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo aren't fully fit just yet. Long-term absentees Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo will remain sidelined but Ayden Heaven and Jonny Evans could be back soon. Forest are living the dream and after a securing a trip to Wembley in the FA Cup, Espirito Santo was delighted. The Forest boss said: "We have to focus on the Premier League but it's going to be a beautiful moment for all of us on our journey. "We are so, so happy. It was such a stressful moment and to share it with our fans, we are so happy. " Matz Sels added: "It is amazing for the supporters so I am happy that I could help the team. I am really happy to play at Wembley. "We kept a clean-sheet, we didn't give away a lot of chances. You need a bit of luck in penalties but now we're focusing on Tuesday which is a big game. " This Premier League clash will take place on Tuesday, April 1. Kick-off at the City Ground is scheduled for 8pm.
