Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest preview
Erik ten Hag's men haven't exactly started like a house on fire.
United stumbled to a 1-0 win against Wolves on the opening day (who were subsequently thumped at home to Brighton) before a 2-0 defeat at Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham.
Off-field issues surrounding Mason Greenwood have hung over the club this past week also, with the club hoping news his future lies away from Old Trafford will put that to bed - which seems unlikely.
Back on the pitch, they're in desperate need of a centre forward, with Rasmum Hojlund continuing his return to fitness, with Marcus Rashford clearly not enjoying playing that role.
Added to that the difficult start for Mason Mount and complete imbalance in midfield, United have serious work to do to turn this form around.
Forest will prove a stern test, just as they did to Arsenal on the opening day in a narrow 2-1 defeat.
They followed that with their first win of the campaign at home to Sheffield United last weekend, with Taiwo Awoniyi scoring two in two games to start the season - making it eight goals in his last six Premier League appearances.
They will fancy this on Saturday.

Man Utd vs Nottingham Forest tips
Rash decisions
Erik ten Hag needs to work out what to do with Rashford, as it's clear the central role hasn't worked so far.
It could be he'll be working with him through the week on that position and it could spring into life.
But there's a chance Rashford could go back to his preferred left wing spot and he could have a big influence here.
While skipper Fernandes has been very vocal after the two performances so far and needs to step up on the park here.
Rashford 2+ shots on target and Fernandes to have an assist at 13/5 - CLAIM HERE
Scoring run
Taiwo Awoniyi has two goals in two games so far and his form has gone under the radar.
There must be teams out there having a look at him, particularly after EIGHT goals in his last six Premier League appearances.
United will give chances away and this guy could well benefit from that.
