Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Nottingham Forest could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester United.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo will consider freshening up his starting lineup for Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Tricky Trees, who were beaten 3-0 away against Manchester City on Wednesday, are still having to cope without long-term absentees Danilo (ankle) and Ibrahim Sangare (hamstring) who are targeting a return next year.

After starting with a back four against Man City, Nuno switched to a three-at-the-back system in the second half, and he may stick with it on Saturday to counteract Ruben Amorim's similar formation. However, he may instead revert to a more familiar four-man defensive setup, with Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo and either Alex Moreno or Neco Williams set to get the nod.

Ryan Yates was tactically withdrawn at half time in midweek, but the Forest captain could retain his starting spot in midfield alongside either Nicolas Dominguez or Elliot Anderson.

Winger Callum Hudson-Odoi will be hoping to force his way into back into the starting lineup at the expense of either Jota Silva or former Man United man Anthony Elanga.

Morgan Gibbs-White has been ever-present in Nuno's lineups and is expected to continue in the number 10 role in behind top scorer Chris Wood, who has scored four of his nine Premier League goals away from home this season.

Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Anderson; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Elanga; Wood
