We're back underway at the City Ground!

Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in each of their previous four home Premier League games in which they've been level at half time since a 1-0 loss to Fulham in September (W3 D1).

So that bodes well heading into the second half.

"I think the bit now is can you go further, what you're going to do next, how can we keep it going, and I'm just talking about little bits of progress every week.

"We're certainly not turning water into wine, but if we can keep moving slightly along the road and feeling we're a bit better, I think that's the right way to go."

Kobbie Mainoo is at a standstill with Manchester United over a new contract, talkSPORT understands.

Mainoo is keen to stay at Old Trafford, with his current deal expiring in 2027, but he wants a salary that recognises his value to the team, in the region of £150,000-a-week.

United know if they sell the midfielder this summer it would help with PSR concerns as he is an academy graduate.

Therefore any fee received would represent 100 per cent profit.

The 19-year-old made 18 Premier League appearances this season until he picked up a long-term injury.

He's expected to return to action next month.

After his remarkable performance in midweek for Liverpool in the Champions League, Alisson Becker has been receiving a lot of praise.

The Brazilian international made ten saves to help the Reds beat PSG 1-0, and he was correctly named Man of the Match.

And since then Arne Slot and his fellow professionals have lauded the shot-stopper.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of facing Southampton, Slot said: He saves shots!

I’m delighted and comforted that he will remain with us in a vitally important role as we use the new Everton Stadium as a launchpad for regeneration of the local area.

"Kevin has been integral in ensuring Premier League survival in this difficult period.  By resolving PSR issues through significant player trading we believe we have an extraordinary squad that can be the foundation for future success.  This future success will also be supported by our talented sporting department assembled by Kevin.  We are pleased Kevin will remain with us in this interim period."

Ruben Amorim has provided a Manchester United injury update ahead of their game against Arsenal.

The Red Devils head coach has indicated that Manuel Ugarte should be fit and that Mason Mount is also close.

However, Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo remain out as long-term absentees, though is hope the latter could return before the end of the season.

Speaking after Man United's 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad, he said: "Manu will return.

"I think Luke Shaw and Mason Mount can return, we'll see.

"They definitely are going to return, especially Mason Mount."

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim cannot see how he'll be given the same time as Mikel Arteta to get things right at Old Trafford.

Speaking after Man United's 1-1 draw in the Europa League round of 16 against Real Socieded, the former Sporting Lisbon boss previewed the game against Arsenal at the weekend.

And one of the questions he was asked was about Arteta's longevity, given the Spaniard arrived at the Emirates in 2019.

But Amorim believes he must deliver success or he won't get the same time.

He said: "I will not have the time that Arteta have.

"It's a different club, so we just need to survive during these games.

"I think it's a different club.

"If all goes to plan, he will be available vs Fulham."

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been speaking about the attacking prowess of Riccardo Calafiori.

The Italian international was on the scoresheet during the 7-1 win over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, making it three goals for the season.

He also set one up during that rout, and it's clear the defender is dangerous in attacking situations.

All of Calafiori's goals have come in open play this season, and Arteta thinks he is quite unique.

Speaking ahead of facing Manchester United at the weekend, he said: "He certainly has that capacity to flow in areas that for a defender is very unusual.
