Forest also lost 3-0 on their last visit to M16, on 27 December, and that’s one of 11 straight victories United have recorded at home going back to October.

The latest – Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Reading in the Emirates FA Cup – saw Ten Hag’s choice to select a strong side. But it wasn’t all good news as key midfielder Christian Eriksen was injured during the course of the second half.

Fans will be eagerly anticipating news on Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw too, with the pair missing that FA Cup tie due to injury and illness respectively.

Diogo Dalot and Anthony Martial have been sidelined recently, while Jadon Sancho is making progress in training as he works towards a first-team return after three months out.

Anthony Elanga, Fred, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Facundo Pellistri were all introduced from the bench against Reading and could feature prominently on Wednesday.

Skipper Harry Maguire is available after being suspended for the first leg.

Morgan Gibbs-White impressed for Steve Cooper’s side in the first leg but the former Wolves midfielder will miss this one with an ankle injury.

Forest had a free weekend due to their third-round elimination from the FA Cup, but Jack Colback and Ryan Yates are struggling with illness while Taiwo Awoniyi (groin), Giulian Biancone (knee) and Cheikhou Kouyate (thigh) are still sidelined with long-term injuries.
