Nottingham Forest will host Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup at the City Ground on Wednesday.
The Red Devils would want to quickly get back on track after a defeat at the hands of Fulham in their most recent outing, a result that ended their run of five consecutive wins. They had beaten Newport County comfortably in the fourth round and will be considered favourites to progress.
Nottingham Forest will find this challenge difficult to deal with. They just lost to Aston Villa in the Premier League and needed a penalty shoot-out to get through the previous round of the FA Cup. Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
