In their final Premier League match of 2023, Nottingham Forest host Manchester United on Saturday, but who is the referee for the clash?
Nottingham Forest welcome Manchester United to the City Ground in the Premier League on Saturday, aiming to build on their first win under Nuno Espirito Santo against Newcastle on Boxing Day.
Forest are 16th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone, but pulled off a remarkable 3-1 victory at St James’ Park, with an unlikely stellar hat-trick from Chris Wood.
Their opponents on Saturday, Man United, also won on Boxing Day. Erik ten Hag’s side won their first game in five, despite trailing 2-0 at half-time against Aston Villa.
Alejandro Garnacho’s brace, followed by a first Premier League goal for Rasmus Hojlund, secured all three points for the Red Devils, who will now hope to kick on from here.
