Wembley beckons for Manchester United, who welcome Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford with a three-goal lead in the bag from the first leg of the EFL Cup semifinals. It will take something spectacular for the visitors to reach the EFL Cup final and as such Erik ten Hag might be inclined to rotate his side more than usual. Similarly, who could blame Forest if their focus shifted towards Sunday's clash with Leeds United at the bottom of the Premier League. Still, this is a club that has a rich heritage in this competition and if they were to overcome their first-leg deficit it would make for quite an addition to Forest's history. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know: Viewing information • Date: Wednesday, Feb. 1 | Time: 3 p.m. ET • Location: Old Trafford -- Manchester, United Kingdom • Live stream: ESPN+ • Odds: Manchester United -275; Draw +333; Nottingham Forest +600 (via Caesars Sportsbook) Storylines Manchester United: All was rosy in the Old Trafford garden until Wednesday lunchtime brought with it a hammer blow, Christian Eriksen sidelined for much of the remainder of the season with the ankle injury he suffered in the FA Cup fourth-round win over Reading. As Ten Hag himself noted, the Dane is almost irreplaceable, though they did bring in Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich. Eriksen's injury may have a more profound impact on Ten Hag's thinking regardless of new signings. The United boss has not been one to heavily rotate a side that is ...

And Antony played through Diogo Dalot who slotted in United's second with 14 minutes remaining. The win puts United three points clear of fourth-placed Newcastle United and six points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in fifth, who have played a game more than the Red Devils. Forest, who could have gone three points clear of the drop with a win, stay 17th, inside the bottom three on goal difference. • Reaction from Manchester United's win at Nottingham Forest • Is Antony starting to live up to £81m price tag? • Go straight to our best Nottingham Forest content • Visit our Manchester United page Nottingham Forest 0-2 Man Utd: Ten Hag says he had nine defenders, now he has four Eriksen inspires free-flowing United Antony starred, but it was Christian Eriksen who was the true lynchpin for United. The Denmark midfielder started his first match since picking up an ankle injury in January, replacing Marcel Sabitzer who sustained a groin injury in the warm-up. "Sabitzer felt something, we decided not to take the risk and we will find out tomorrow what it is," Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag told BBC Match of the Day. "But when you have Eriksen on the bench, it is definitely not a disadvantage." Alongside Bruno Fernandes, Eriksen helped United dominate the first half with Jadon Sancho and Fernandes having early chances. After Antony's opener only an inspired performance from Navas and some wasteful finishing kept Forest in the fixture. Fernandes saw his free header sail just wide ...

The England forward turned provider three minutes later, cutting in from the left wing and rolling a pass to Antony Martial, whose low finish from the edge of the area found the net after Hennessey failed to hold. Forest's keeper denied Antony, Martial and Rashford before substitute Fred profited from an excellent through ball from fellow Brazilian Casemiro to find the bottom corner three minutes from time. Forest never recovered from that first-half double blow, although they did have a goal ruled out by VAR just before the break. Steve Cooper's men have not scored a league goal away from the City Ground since 20 August and remain second bottom. For United, it completed a fourth successive victory in all competitions and underlined the theory that the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo will not have a negative effect on the remainder of their season. • Manchester United v Nottingham Forest - reaction • Go straight to all the best Manchester United content • Visit our Nottingham Forest page Can Rashford and Martial solve Man Utd's striker problems? There has been a lot of talk of strikers at United since Ronaldo's contract was terminated last month. PSV Eindhoven's Cody Gakpo was certainly on their radar before he agreed a move to Liverpool, even if the likely transfer fee would have priced him out of a move to Old Trafford, given the significant spending last summer that manager Erik ten Hag demanded. Unless the situation changes, the best Ten Hag can hope for is a loan signing. H...

Manchester United have been better than us and deserve to go through but there were a couple of ricochets that didn’t go our way. "We have got to a semi-final and how many clubs wo
