Nottingham Forest are in desperate need of points in their bid to stay in the Premier League, but face a big task against a Manchester United side looking to seal a top-four finish.

Forest are on a nine-match winless run and head into the weekend following back-to-back defeats to Leeds and Aston Villa, which left them in 18th place, behind Everton on goal difference.

United consolidated fourth place with back-to-back wins over Brentford and Everton, but Tottenham are lurking just three points behind.

This will be the fourth meeting of the season between the clubs; United won 3-0 in the league in December, before winning both legs of their League Cup semi-final earlier this year.

Kick-off is at 4.30pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:

ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee
