Manchester United
Man United will be without Luke Shaw, who is facing another painful spell on the sidelines after suffering a setback in his recovery from a muscle injury, while Victor Lindelof is also ruled out with a groin problem.
Jonny Evans, who was not in the matchday squad against Arsenal due to an unspecified knock, is a doubt, but Amorim is able to welcome back Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo after they both served one-match suspensions in midweek.
Leny Yoro is in contention to make his first competitive start in defence, while Amad Diallo, Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee - the latter two scored two goals each in a 4-0 win over Everton last weekend - will all be hoping to force their way back into the first XI.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Martinez; Diallo, Casemiro, Mainoo, Dalot; Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee
Nottingham
As for Nottingham Forest, they are still having to cope without long-term absentees Danilo (ankle) and Ibrahim Sangare (hamstring) who are targeting a return next year.
Nuno will weigh up whether to start with a four-man defence or switch to a back three with wing-backs as he did for the second half against Man City in midweek.
Elliot Anderson will be pushing to start in centre-midfield ahead of either Ryan Yates or Nicolas Dominguez, while ex-Man United winger Anthony Elanga could start in attack with Chris Wood, Morgan Gibbs-White and either Callum Hudson-Odoi or Jota Silva.
Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:
Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Anderson; Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White, Elanga; Wood
Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Nottingham Forest
