After the 3-0 in the first leg, hardly anyone expects the underdog to advance. Especially since Nottingham didn't look good against United recently anyway. With the Red Devils going into the second leg comfortably in the lead and with Crystal Palace awaiting home at the weekend, many players from the starting eleven could be rested. For the guests, however, it should be clear that Wayne Hennessey will again be in the goal. Keeper and top performer Dean Henderson is still injured. A big plus for the Reds should be that they were not active at the weekend. They were eliminated in the 3rd round of the FA Cup and consequently had the day off. This plus in freshness could possibly play role. However, they need to put down a near-perfect game if they want to have any hope of progressing. Nottingham have won just 2 of their last 10 away games. Manchester United have scored 3 goals in each of their last two competitive games. The Red Devils were able to win their last two game against this opponent with the same result 3-0.
