Pundit Predictions: Who will start v Forest?

MUTV pundits Wes Brown and Quinton Fortune have disagreed over the line-up while making their United Predictions for the Emirates FA Cup tie against Nottingham Forest.

The starting XI is particularly hard to guess with several fresh injury concerns since the weekend: Harry Maguire is definitely out, while Raphael Varane and Bruno Fernandes are doubts. 

Meanwhile, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund and Anthony Martial are all still sidelined. 

Remember, you have until 18:15 GMT to register your line-up, and then until kick-off at 19:45 GMT to predict the first scorer, correct score and Man of the Match. 

Before you do, read what our pundits are saying…
