Twelve-time FA Cup winners and last year鈥檚 beaten finalists, Manchester United, face a tricky trip to Forest, who beat them in the league at the City Ground at the end of December.

That 2-1 victory ended a run of 11 straight defeats for Nottingham Forest against the Red Devils, which included two Premier League encounters and the two-legged EFL Cup semi-final in 2023.

This is their first FA Cup meeting since Mark Robins鈥檚 winner at the City Ground in January 1990, a result which is thought by man to have saved Sir Alex Ferguson's job at United. His side went on to win the FA Cup that year, the first of his incredible 38 trophies at Old Trafford.
