Nottingham Forest – Manchester City

Nottingham Forest host Manchester City at the City Ground with the league table starkly divided – Forest sit 19th with five points from seven games, while City sit top with a flawless 21. The home side have managed just one win and two draws, conceding nine goals, whereas the visitors have scored 19 and kept seven clean sheets. Forest will be desperate to snap their winless streak and claw back into the safety zone, but the gap in form and firepower looks daunting. City, unbeaten and dominant, will look to extend their perfect record and cement their lead at the summit. The clash pits a struggling Forest side against a championship‑winning outfit, and the odds heavily favour a comfortable City triumph.
