Country: Wales
The second of our three consecutive games against former English champions of Europe sees us play the once mighty Nottingham Forest.
Tbf to them they’ve only lost once this year and look like they could make a real go at promotion this year to the PL.
They have pulled off some impressive results against Swansea, Leeds and Fulham as well as trouncing Derby in the earlier round of this tournament.
They’re managed by early 2000’s Parma player Sabri Lamouchi. Keep an eye out for young CB Joe Worrall who could be playing in the PL before as well as our very own banter boy Carl Jenkinson.
As for our team I’d go:
Emi
Mustafi - Holding - Medley - Bola
Willock - Xhaka
Özil
Nelson - Martinelli - Saka
Everyone who isn’t starting would ideally play at Old Trafford, with one out of Saka and Nelson as well.
I think we’re going to be stuck with Sokratis and David Luiz there so give Holding some intro minutes here.
I’d play Mavrapanos, Tierney and Bellerin if they’re obviously fit enough for a first team game.
