After not one, but two weekends off, the Premier League returns with a helping of midweek action, beginning on Tuesday night, when three games take place, including one between Nottingham Forest and Man United, who’ll clash at City Ground.

Following their hard-fought FA Cup win over Brighton on Saturday, the Tricky Trees will be looking to make life difficult for the Red Devils, but having had less time to rest and prepare for this game, can they do it? Read on for our Nottingham Forest vs Man United player betting tips.

This game takes place on 01/03/2025 at City Ground. Kick off will be at 20:00 GMT.

Looking at the early odds ahead of this game, just one player bet appeals from a value point of view.

Bruno Fernandes Over 0.5 Assists

The season may not have gone swimmingly for Manchester United, who’ve undergone a managerial change and continue to struggle to make inroads into the top half of the table, but there can be no denying how strong the performances delivered by Bruno Fernandes have been.

The United skipper, especially over the last couple of months, has certainly been doing his bit to push the Red Devils onto bigger and better things. Before the international break, Fernandes registered an assist and scored away to Leicester, a performance that followed his superbly taken hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League.

In the Premier League this season, the 30-year-old has contributed eight goals and nine assists, averaging a very impressive 0.64 goals and assists per 90 minutes. He’s also averaging a rather chunky 0.55 expected goals and expected assisted goals per 90.

If we look just at his stats as a provider, then Fernandes is averaging 0.34 assists per 90 minutes, while he is also United's top performer (easily) in terms of key passes (= passes that lead directly to a shot), final-third passes, progressive passes and passes into the penalty area.

It’s also worth noting that the United number 10 also ranks as the best player in the Premier League for both progressive passes and through balls this season.

Quite simply, given how strong the Portuguese midfielder has been in recent weeks, coupled with his hugely eye-catching numbers, odds of 9/2 look too big and are well worth taking advantage of.

The table below shows the odds available for our player betting tips (at the time of writing), as well as what I consider to be fair odds for these bets. To be clear, to take value, you should be taking odds that are bigger than the fair odds. If bigger odds are not available, then there’s no value, which means no bet.
