Despite sitting one point behind Nottingham Forest, reigning Premier League champions Manchester City go into Saturday’s game as odds on favourites.
Manchester City’s league form continues to be up and down. After beating Chelsea 3-1 they proceeded to be humiliated by Arsenal, before looking back to their best against Newcastle. They were then comfortably beaten by Liverpool, then followed that up with a 1-0 win against Tottenham.
The good news for City is that forward Erling Haaland looks to be 100% once again after scoring against Tottenham two weeks ago, he then came on to get a late assist in City’s FA cup win over Plymouth.
Despite a disastrous season by all accounts, a win would put Manchester City just four points behind Arsenal before the Gunners play city rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
After their exceptional start to the season which had them third in the Premier League, Nottingham Forest are now without a win in their last three league games following their 0-0 draw with Arsenal and are now in a fight to secure Champions League qualification next season.
The City Ground continues to be a fortress for Forest regardless of their recent struggles. They remain unbeaten in their last nine home games in all competitions.
Nottingham Forest have failed to beat Manchester City in five attempts since their return to the Premier League, with their only point and goal coming in a 1-1 draw in 2023. The last meeting between the pair ended 3-0 to the reigning champions despite going into the game on a seven game winless streak.
