Nottingham Forest would be forgiven for having half an eye on an upcoming case surrounding a possible points deduction over alleged FFP violations but boss Nuno Espirito Santo has his sights firmly set on FA Cup and Premier League progression. Anthony Elanga is in line to face his former club, though talismanic forward Taiwo Awoniyi may get a rest having only recently recovered from injury.
After four league wins in a row, Man United returned to the ridiculous following the sublime with a 2-1 home defeat to Fulham for a first time in 21 years. Harry Maguire's late equalizer seemed to have snaffled a point but in desperately seeking an undeserved winner, the Red Devils over-committed and succumbed to an Alex Iwobi sucker-punch in injury time. With in-form forward Rasmus Hojlund out, Erik ten Hag must find a way to get the best from Marcus Rashford if last season's runners-up are to reach the quarter-finals.
