Is Nottingham Forest v Man Utd on TV today? Kick-off time and channel details

Nottingham Forest are set to face Manchester United on Sunday in the Premier League in a crucial game for both sides.

Forest will be going into the game in the relegation zone but could go up to 16th with a win against United, providing that both Everton and Leeds drop points this weekend.

United will be looking to bounce back from Thursday’s disappointing draw against Sevilla in the Europa League, which saw the Red Devils concede two late own goals after leading 2-0 for the vast majority of the game.

Here is everything you need to know about the match.

What time is Nottingham Forest v Manchester United Kick-off?

The game is set to kick off at 4:30pm at the City Ground, Nottingham, on Sunday, April 16.

What TV channel is Nottingham Forest v Manchester United on?

The game is being shown live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Ultra and Sky Go Extra with coverage starting from 4pm.

What is the team news?

Forest may be without the likes of Cheikhou Kouyate and Moussa Niakhate after they both left the field during their sides' 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa last Saturday, with what appeared to be hamstring problems, adding further fuel to the team’s current injury crisis.

The pair join Giulian Biancone, Renan Lodi, Omar Richards, Gustav Scarpa, Chris Wood, Willy Boly and Dean Henderson in the treatment room. Ryan Yates and Serge Aurier are also doubtful.

United’s mid-week misery was compounded even further when both Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez were forced to limp off. Both are now set to miss the rest of the season.

Club top goal scorer Marcus Rashford remains sidelined with a groin injury and fellow forward Anthony Martial could be a doubt. But both Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw could return to the side after recovering from injury.

What have the managers said?

Nottingham Forest’s Steve Cooper said: “Even when I look at the times when we have won games this season and we have played well, it’s not enough.

“We need to give more. At this stage of the season the stakes feel higher and the context is bigger because there’s less games to play.

“The objective hasn’t changed, it’s become more difficult because of recent results but we’ve got to stay committed.

“I can’t think of anywhere I’ve been more motivated to succeed”.

Manchester United’s Erik Ten Hag said: "Every game is a battle, every game is a fight and you have to be ready for that fight.

“We have a squad, we have more than 11 starters, so now others are on and when their time is there you have to show and contribute to the team, you have to be ready.

“That is what we expect and what we demand. Then you find excuses, if you want to find excuses you have to look for another club. When the moment is there you have to contribute and that is what we demand."
