Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Ian John | in Premier League Prediction
Sunday’s late afternoon kick off sees Nottingham Forest host Manchester City at the City Ground. The clash has major implications at the top and bottom of the table. Forest are looking anxiously over their shoulder at both Luton and Burnley who are closing in on their 17th place and safety. In contrast, Manchester City have top-of-the-table Arsenal very much in their sights after moving second in the table in the week following their big win at Brighton. City won the reverse fixture 2-0 at the Etihad, thanks to two early first half goals from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland. However with Arsenal holding a better goal difference by eight, you can assume City boss Pep Guardiola will be looking to make inroads into that advantage here.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Nottingham Forest - Manchester City: Form Analysis
Relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest face title-chasing Manchester City in the Premier League this Sunday. Both teams are badly in need of three points, though for very different reasons. Forest lie 17th in the table just one point and one place above the relegation zone. They are now five points behind Everton in 16th and it appears it will be two from Forest, Luton and Burnley that join Sheffield United in the Championship next season. Nuno Santo’s team have hit a poor run of form at the wrong time, winning just one of their last nine EPL games. At the City Ground though, they have lost just one of their last five (to Liverpool). Last time out, they were defeated 2-0 by Everton at Goodison Park in a controversial game which saw Forest denied what looked to be three relatively clear penalties, by the VAR official. Can they use that to fuel their fire against their illustrious opponents?
Manchester City come into this game after playing away to Brighton on Thursday night. City produced another sumptuous display, rattling in four goals at the AMEX Stadium with no reply from the home side. That win moved City above Liverpool into second, just a point behind Arsenal but with a game in hand. It also cut Arsenal’s big goal difference advantage down from 12 to eight goals. Manchester City have scored four or five goals in each of their last four Premier League games (17 in total). So, you can rightfully assume Pep Guardiola has clearly targeted reeling in that goal difference advantage Arsenal hold, in addition to claiming the points City need to go top. City beat Nottingham Forest 6-0 back in August 2022. City may well be targeting a similar big win here if recent performances are anything to go by.

Nottingham Forest & Manchester City Squad Analysis
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Santo could be without two important players for the game with Manchester City. Striker Taiwo Awoniyi remains only in partial training in the lead up to this game, so is a major doubt. However, he could possibly earn a seat on the bench depending on how he performs in the days leading up to the game. Definitely out is centre-back Willy Boly, who has a muscular problem and may well be out for the remainder of the season.
Manchester City will await news on just one player for the game with Forest. That being striker Erling Haaland who sat out the win over Brighton in midweek. The Norwegian striker is rated as a 50/50 chance for the game at the weekend, however Pep Guardiola may elect to give him extra time to recover with tricky away games to come at Fulham and Tottenham. Other than that, City have a fully fit squad to pick from for the game with Forest.
