With Robert Snodgrass, Ben Parker, Billy Paynter and Patrick Kisnorbo still injured and Max Gradel still suspended along with David Somma, it's going to be a tough match for the Whites.
United striker Luciano Becchio will be in top form however and so will goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Forest defender Kelvin Wilson will be hoping to be match fit after having an ankle injury but David McGoldrick will be unlikely to play after injuring his shoulder.
