Nottingham vs MU: Tired feet
In terms of squad depth and form, MU is more appreciated than Nottingham. At this moment, the fans are expecting a lot of hope that the Red Devils will win a smooth result in the semi-final first leg of the English League Cup taking place tonight.
However, looking at the actual situation, the 90 minutes of confrontation tonight is not easy for the Manchester team. Remember, coach Ten Hag's teachers and students have just experienced a stressful schedule in the Premier League with 3 matches in just 1 week. In the near future, MU will face a 10-match schedule in just 1 month.
Most likely, the Ten Hag strategist will choose a safe play, not too hasty to seek victory. Remember, MU still has the second leg at home to solve the opponent.
Returning to the home team of The City Ground, Nottingham is in concentrated form when unbeaten in 5/6 recent matches. Particularly at home, they have just had 8 matches without losing in all competitions. In particular, they used to draw with Chelsea, or beat Liverpool and Tottenham.
