Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City

Manchester City are aiming to maintain the pressure on the leaders when they travel to Nottingham Forest for an English Premier League fixture on Saturday.

The Citizens are playing with confidence at the moment, while the goals are also flowing freely. They should be too strong for the hosts, who are a bit inconsistent at the moment.

Nottingham Forest News

Nottingham Forest have shown plenty of improvement since Sean Dyche took charge and are now five points clear of the relegation zone. However, they have been a bit inconsistent lately, with two wins and as many defeats in their last four matches, losing 1-0 at Fulham in their previous fixture.

Things are a bit smoother at home for Nottingham Forest, who are unbeaten in five of their last six matches across all competitions. However, they have won just two of their last four Premier League matches at the City Ground, with a 2-0 defeat to Brighton among their results.

Nottingham Forest often adopt an open style at home, with the goals usually flowing in front of their fans. Four of their last five home matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

Manchester City News

Manchester City are one of the most in-form teams in the league at the moment and have won their last seven matches across all competitions. They claimed a 3-0 home victory over West Ham in their previous fixture, with Erling Haaland netting a brace.

The Citizens continue to crank up the pressure on leaders Arsenal, and even briefly went top of the table after the win over West Ham. Pep Guardiola's team have been just as effective on the road, winning four of their last five away matches across all competitions.

Manchester City have looked sharp going forward lately, scoring over 1.5 goals in their last seven matches across all competitions. Six of those fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Manchester City have five wins while Nottingham Forest have picked up three victories, with two draws in the last 10 matches. The Citizens won two out of three meetings last season, claiming a 3-0 home victory in the league before a 2-0 away triumph in the FA Cup.

Verdict

Nottm Forest v Man City

While Nottingham Forest have shown some improvement lately, they remain a bit inconsistent and could find things difficult against Manchester City. The Citizens are on a seven-match winning run and given their record in this fixture, should come out on top once again.

Manchester City have the quality in attack and should score over 1.5 goals as they have done in their last seven matches. With six of those fixtures also producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat could be considered here.
