Nottingham Forest 1-1 Bournemouth result, stats and report

Neco Williams gave Ipswich the lead at Portman Road but Julio Enciso's first-half leveller earned Nottingham Forest a point, as Ipswich squandered three big chances and Forest rode their luck.

Michael Carrick insisted Manchester United are 'not an unmanageable club' hours before his side were thrashed 3-0 by Bournemouth, extending their winless run to eight games and leaving him facing the sack. The humiliation came with captain Bruno Fernandes dropped amid open dissent from senior players.

Alex Scott has rejected a new Bournemouth contract, leaving the England midfielder open to Liverpool and Chelsea interest in January. But with Chelsea simultaneously chasing Frenkie de Jong, Adam Wharton and Manu Kone, Scott's link is just one strand of a sprawling midfield wishlist.

Michael Carrick must decide whether to drop captain Bruno Fernandes for Sunday's Bournemouth clash after the midfielder blamed the coaching staff, not the players, for United's 4-1 Champions League defeat at Como.

With Oliver Glasner replicating slow starts that preceded trophies at Frankfurt and Palace, the real threat to the project is owner Evangelos Marinakis's patience, not the data.
