Nottingham Forest will take on Manchester United today in a crucial Premier League match at The City Ground in Nottingham, seeking to secure their first win in four attempts under new manager Sean Dyche. The match kicks off at 15:00 BST (10:00 ET) on November 1, 2025, and fans can watch it live on Peacock in the United States and Stan Sport in Australia.
Match Preview and Team News
Nottingham Forest has struggled this season, currently positioned as the lowest-performing team in the Premier League. They have managed just one win so far, prompting the club to appoint Dyche following the departures of previous managers Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou. Dyche began his tenure with a positive result, guiding the team to a 2-0 victory over FC Porto in the Europa League last week. Goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus provided a much-needed boost.
In contrast, Manchester United enters the match with a strong momentum after winning three consecutive Premier League games for the first time under manager Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils aim to extend their winning streak against Nottingham Forest, who are still finding their footing under Dyche’s guidance.
In terms of team news, Forest will be without Ola Aina (hamstring) and Dilane Bakwa (unspecified injury). Additionally, Chris Wood (knee) and Oleksandr Zinchenko (groin) will be assessed before kickoff. Meanwhile, United’s Harry Maguire and Mason Mount missed their last match against Brighton and will also undergo late fitness tests. However, defender Lisandro Martinez has returned to training and could be available for selection.
Viewing Options and Ticket Information
For viewers in the UK, the match will not be televised due to the traditional 3 PM blackout on live football broadcasts. However, fans in most other countries can catch the action. In the United States, the game will be available via Peacock, NBC’s streaming platform, which offers various subscription options starting at $10.99 per month. In Australia, fans can watch through Stan Sport for AU$32 per month, covering all Premier League and Champions League matches.
Those hoping to attend the match in person can still purchase tickets through Nottingham Forest’s official platform, offering a VIP experience that includes premium seating, a champagne reception, and complimentary refreshments throughout the match.
As the match approaches, expectations are high for both teams. Nottingham Forest seeks to turn their season around, while Manchester United aims to solidify their newfound consistency. With both teams under pressure, today’s clash promises to be an exciting encounter.
“Nottingham Forest is still adapting to life under Sean Dyche, while Manchester United looks revitalized under Ruben Amorim,” said a spokesperson from FourFourTwo.
As fans gather to support their teams, the outcome of this match could have significant implications for the Premier League standings and the respective futures of both clubs this season.
