Premier League: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Live
Preview: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City is scheduled for Sunday at 3:30pm at the City Ground as Man City continue their quest for the league title. Man City is starting the weekend in second position in the standings with a game yet to be played, Forest are only one point ahead of the relegation zone.
Nottingham Forest had a tough week, both on and off the field. They suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss to Everton, leaving them just one point above the relegation zone. Shortly after the match, the club criticized some refereeing decisions on social media, leading to trouble with the league’s governing body. Now, Forest must focus on improving their performance on the field, as they have only won one of their last nine league games. Despite facing tough opponents like Man City, returning to the City Ground will be a relief as they are unbeaten in three matches there and have a strong home record in previous top-flight meetings.
Despite the pressure of knowing that their title rivals Arsenal had already won, City managed to secure a 4-0 victory against Brighton. They were three goals ahead by half-time and easily defeated their opponents, extending their unbeaten streak to 18 Premier League matches. Their last league loss was against Aston Villa in December. City aims to continue their success against Forest and achieve their first top-flight double since 1990/91. Guardiola is looking to win his 300th Premier League match in charge of City, making him one of the few managers to reach that milestone with one club in the competition.
Head-to-head
In a game played at Etihad Stadium in September last year, Manchester City won 2-0 against their opponents. In their last eight matches against the Reds, City has achieved five victories, two draws, and one loss.
Prediction
After being rejuvenated and determined following their loss to Everton, Forest will present a formidable challenge for City at City Ground. However, we anticipate City to easily defeat Nuno’s team, just as they did against Brighton.
