Manchester United vs Wolverhampton Preview:

Manchester United will welcome Wolverhampton on Sunday afternoon. The full "Old Trafford" will finally create an atmosphere like in the old days, something that haven't happened for a long period. The reason is connect with the Europe League match against Lyon played on Thursday. Manchester United scored three goals during the final six minutes of extra time to complete a staggering comeback from 4:2 down against 10-man Lyon. In front of legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, who was watching on from the stands, United produced one of the most famous games this stadium has ever seen. The current manager Ruben Amorim could enjoy the momentum, but there is a long way to the trophy. Manchester United now face a semi-final with Athletic Bilbao. The Portuguese coach said he will use younger players in United's next three Premier League fixtures (matches against Wolves, Bournemouth and Brentford) as he will prioritize the Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao. Man United will play in Bilbao on 1 May and host the return a week later. To be worse, seven players are sidelined due to injury - Amad Diallo, Joshua Zirkzee, Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, Toby Collyer and Ayden Heaven.

Wolverhampton have 35 points and they are not involved in the relegation battle. New manager Vitor Pereira did a great job and the fans are satisfied. The Wanderers are in excellent form, they have four victories in a row. Wolves beat Southampton, West Ham, Ipswich Town and Tottenham. The atmosphere in the squad is good, while the players confidence is high. However, Pereira also has a long injury list. Enso Gonzalez, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Leon Chiwome, Pedro Lima, Sasa Kalajdzic and Yerson Mosquera could miss out, while Matt Doherty is rated as doubtful due to a knock. Matheus Cunha has returned after serving his four-game suspension, marking his comeback with a goal against Tottenham. The Brazilian could come back into the starting eleven here, but Jorgen Strand Larsen is in good form, scoring five goals in his last four games.

s will play in the next three Premier League fixtures, starting from this match. Harry Amass, Chido Obi and Ayden Heaven are among them. Amorim brought on the 18-year-old Amass in the extra-time against Lyon on Thursday, after giving the defender two appearances in the Premier League. Obi, a 17-year-old forward, has played three times in the league and once in the FA Cup. Finally, Heaven, an 18-year-old defender, has played twice in the league, once in the FA Cup and once in the Europa League. Five other players are looking for their debuts - Jaydan Kamason, Godwill Kukonki, Jack Moorhouse, Sekou Kone and Toby Collyer. Wolverhampton, meanwhile, will play with the best eleven. They are in good form, four victories on the last four matches. I think they could take advantage from Amorim's decision to play with youngsters.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Preview:

Vicario; Gray, Danso, Davies, Spence; Kulusevski, Bissouma, Sarr; Odobert, Solanke, Tel

Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Nottingham Forest to North London on Easter Monday's Premier League fixture. The match is very important for Nottingham, but not for the Lilywhites. Tottenham are in the lower part of the table with 37 points, huge 20 points less then Nottingham. Strange situation, nobody expected this scenario. The Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou was under constant pressure during the season, but somehow managed to survive, mainly due to results in UEFA Europe League. Tottenham have secured semifinals in the competition after won against Eintracht in Frankfurt. It is not a secret that Postecoglou will now prioritize Europe as winning the competition will guarantee Champions League football for the next season. That means the Australian coach will rotate the players to avoid any additional injury. Three players are already sidelined - James Maddison had a nasty collision with Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos, skipper Son Heung-min is out with a niggling foot injury, while Radu Dragusin remains long-term knee injury victim.

Two seasons ago in April, Nottingham Forest were deeply involved in the relegation battle. They were lucky to avoid the worst scenario and secured the Premier League status in the last round. Most of the pundits were expected something similar again, but they were wrong. Nuno Espirito Santo is doing a fantastic job and they are fighting for a Champions League spot. Nottingham are also successful in the FA Cup where they secured a semifinal. Nevertheless, the current form is poor, Forest have registered two defeats on the last two Premier League fixtures, losing to Everton at home and Aston Villa on road. The atmosphere in the squad is far from ideal, while the players confidence isn't at desired level. Nuno has the majority of his players ready for this clash, key striker Chris Wood should start after fully recovering from the hip issue that he suffered while on international duty. In addition, Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi are rated as doubtful with a calf and thigh injury respectively. Jota Silva will almost certainly drop to the bench to make space for the returning Anthony Elanga.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction:


Nottingham have beat Tottenham 1:0 on home turf on Boxing Day and they are just 90 minutes away from a first league double over the Spurs since 1997. Tottenham boss Postecoglou will definitely rotate the players, the result from this match is not important for him. On contrary, this match is extremely important for the guests. Nottingham are fighting for a Champions League and three points from this match could be crucial. I think they are able to leave North London unbeaten.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Pick: Nottingham Forest +0.5 AH @ 1.55 with Pinnacle
