Forget about their last winning,they can never win this one,this is premier league for you’: Paul Merson finally predicts the winner of Man united vs Nottingham Forest today
Paul Merson has predicted the outcome of the Premier League match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United at the City Ground on Saturday evening.
The former Aston Villa player and Sky Sports pundit has predicted two goals in the match.
So, what has Paul Merson said ahead of the match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United? Let’s take a look.
Paul Merson predicts Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
Well, Nottingham Forest will lock horns with Manchester United at the City Ground in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
Forest will head into the match on the back of a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United away from home at St. James’ Park in the league.
Meanwhile, United beat Aston Villa 3-2 at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
It came after a 2-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham United at London Stadium in the league.
Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has predicted the match between Forest and United to end in a 1-1 draw.
Merson wrote on SportsKeeda: “Who saw Nottingham Forest getting three points against Newcastle United the other day? That was an absolutely incredible result for them and they’ll fancy their chances against an inconsistent Manchester United side.
“Forest are one of those teams that are better away from home, so I’m not sure this game will suit them. I hate predicting Manchester United games as they are a bag of revels – you never know what you’re going to get from them.
“I watched them beat Chelsea 2-1 and thought they’d finally turn a corner, but they followed it up with losses against Bournemouth, Bayern Munich and West Ham United, while they somehow managed to get a point against Liverpool.
“They haven’t shown enough consistency this season, which is a big problem for Erik ten Hag. A draw would be a huge result for Forest, which is believe is on the cards.
“Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Manchester United.”
My View: Nottingham Forest could win
I believe that Nottingham Forest have what it takes to pick up all three points from the Premier League match against Manchester United at the City Ground.
Yes, I admit that United have the better team, but Forest are revived force under new head coach Nuno and will also have home advantage as well.
The Reds were sensational in their win against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park in the Premier League on Tuesday evening.
Bournemouth needed a late goal to beat Forest at the City Ground last weekend. And, let us not forget that the Reds played most of that particular match with 10 men because of the controversial sending-off of defender Willy Boly.
