FA Cup fifth-round: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United - Expert Predictions and Close Contest

BBC Sport's football expert Chris Sutton has made his prediction for the FA Cup fifth-round tie between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United. Sutton, who is up against Kaiser Chiefs bassist and Leeds fan Simon Rix in their predictions, admits that he often gets Manchester United's results wrong. Despite United's recent home defeat to Fulham, Sutton believes that they will find a way to edge the match against Nottingham Forest. He acknowledges that Forest have the ability to score goals, but highlights United's need for someone to finish their chances, especially in the absence of Rasmus Hojlund. Sutton predicts a close match, with a final score of 1-1 and United winning after extra-time and penalties. Simon Rix, on the other hand, expects the match to go all the way to penalties as well, with a final score of 1-1 and Manchester United emerging as the victors. Overall, both experts anticipate a closely contested match between the two teams.
