Manchester City & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis

Manchester City are still struggling defensively but will be happy to have a variety of options in attack. Their most important player at the moment is Erling Haaland, who scored three in the last game. Bernardo Silva has also been a key figure in their attack and he will be looked upon here, as it has been the case in the last two matches. Nottingham seem to still be gelling after massively recruiting but one player who will be key for them is Brennan Johnson, who showed great flashes in the loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

Our Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Nottingham Forest have shown great promise so far but it will take them some time to match the league’s best. They are coming from a 2-0 loss to Spurs, where the difference was the experience between the two sides. They will get more of the same against City and while we expect a good effort from the promoted side, they will be overwhelming underdogs. Manchester City will dominate this game and we expect them to lead in both halves.
