Manchester United host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, with the hosts requiring just one point to seal a third-place finish in the top flight and complete a remarkable turnaround under Michael Carrick.
Carrick’s impressive spell in interim charge is set to be turned into a permanent one, with a new deal imminent - and possibly arriving as soon as today’s match.
The Red Devils were held to a goalless draw at Sunderland last time out but will expect to be back to their usual form at Old Trafford, while Nottingham Forest - who have completed a brilliant reversal of fortunes of their own in the second half of this season - drew 1-1 with Newcastle.
Vitor Pereira’s side has already secured their own top-flight survival but have a point to prove after a 4-0 shellacking in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Aston Villa, and will be desperate to get back to winning ways - and they have form at Old Trafford, winning 3-2 in this same fixture last season.
Manchester United host Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Sunday 17 May, with kick-off at 12.30pm BST.
Viewers in the UK can watch the game live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. If you’re not a Sky customer, you can grab a NOWTV Day Pass here to watch without a subscription.
Matthijs de Ligt remains sidelined for the hosts having undergone surgery on a back injury, while Benjamin Sesko is a doubt after he missed the Sunderland draw with a shin issue. Casemiro meanwhile is sure to feature in his last-ever game at Old Trafford.
Forest are without a host of key players including Murillo and Ola Aina, although Dan Ndoye could make a return to the squad and Morgan Gibbs-White, who is still wearing a protective mask after needing stitches following their win over Chelsea, could also feature.
Manchester United XI: Lammens; Mazraoui, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Cunha; Zirkzee
