Forest host Man Utd to continue their unbeaten home record against the Big Six

In a Champions League place and in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. It's hard to put Nottingham Forest's season in any better light. Until you check their home record in the Premier League against the ‘Big Six’. The City Ground's undefeated status in this area is the peak.

Figures that have to be taken with a pinch of salt, as Manchester United and Chelsea are the ones who have yet to add to the formula. The Red Devils visit the Tricky Trees this Tuesday at 21:00 with a debt to pay for what happened at Old Trafford in the first leg.

The 2-3 scoreline stayed at the top of the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ in favour of Nuno Espírito Santo's project. Nikola Milenkovic struck from the kick-off, Morgan Gibbs-White responded to Rasmus Hojlund's equaliser and Chris Wood struck the blow that had no final answer on the scoreboard.

At home, Nottingham Forest have faced Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. In these four encounters, 1-0 over Spurs, 1-1 against the leaders, a goalless draw against the Gunners and a narrow 1-0 win over Pep Guardiola's side.

In other words, only Arne Slot's team was able to overcome the challenge of Matz Sels in goal. It happened on 14 January last, when Chris Wood struck to make it 1-0. Until, in the 66th minute, Diogo Jota nipped the log in the bud and ended defensive perfection at West Bridgford.

Manchester United are the next stone in Nottingham Forest's path to the Champions League. If they make it 5 out of 5 against Rúben Amorim's side, Nuno Espírito Santo will wait until the final matchday to host Chelsea and see if the summit remains intact until the end.
