Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Manchester United in the Premier League today.

The Reds are faced with a real struggle to avoid relegation after dropping into the bottom three following a run of four defeats in five. The club have demanded a rapid improvement as Steve Cooper faces pressure to keep his job, despite signing a long-term contract earlier in the campaign.

Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag’s United side are sat in the top four and will go third with a point or better, though they will have to manage the match better than in midweek when they let a two-goal lead slip and drew with Sevilla.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Wan-Bissaka has got forward well down the United right and he finds himself in the box on the ball once more. The right-back tries to cut onto his left foot to find a shooting angle but the Forest defence do well to snuff out the chance.

United give the ball away cheaply in the midfield and Forest come forward. Williams gets another cross in from the right but Awoniyi can't get enough contact on the ball and it's glanced well-wide of the right post.

From the corner, Antony tries a sublime curling effort from outside the box but it's just too high and goes beyond the far post.

Sancho and Fernandes combine well around the area and the English winger fires a low cross across the box but no one is on hand at the far post to turn it home.

Williams gets forward well and fires a cross into the box. It's cleared away but there's plenty of protestation from the Forest players and the crowd about a handball. The referee is unmoved and play continues.
