Nottingham Forest, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Everton will have left the Nottingham Forest squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 59% of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Everton managed 7 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 15 of their 17 games at The City Ground.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Nottingham Forest, Chris Wood will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Manchester City, Recent FormLast time out, Manchester City recorded an impressive 4-0 away win against Brighton & Hove Albion. In that game they recorded 65 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 7 shots on goal.
With 18 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Pep Guardiola will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 5 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak away from home now stands at 8 games in a row.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 18 games.
Phil Foden has scored 6 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Nottingham Forest.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Manchester City running out winners in a match that ended 2-0.
The Citizens will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 10 encounters with Forest. In their recent meetings Man City have had no problem breaking down The Reds' defence, having found the back of the net 13 times in their last 5 games. The Reds have struggled to break down the Man City defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at The City Ground in the league, but Man City will hold a slight psychological advantage having been unbeaten there in their last 4 visits.
With only Taiwo Awoniyi (Muscle) and Willy Boly (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Nuno Espírito Santo will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Pep Guardiola has a number of injury concerns in his Man City squad to contend with: Kayky da Silva Chagas (Cruciate ligament), Jérémy Doku (Thigh) and Erling Haaland (Muscle)
