Nottingham Forest vs Man City Preview
All eyes will be on The City Ground when Nottingham Forest host Manchester City, with the home side desperate to respond after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Brentford. Changes to the starting XI are expected, as both Munoz and Yates push for places in midfield, while Nicolo Savona and Igor Jesus remain sidelined through injury. Forest's home form is particularly concerning: they have failed to win any of their last five matches on home soil and are yet to score during that run.
Manchester City, meanwhile, will be eager to bounce back from a shock 1-0 defeat to Brighton. Antoine Semenyo remains unavailable, meaning Jeremy Doku should retain his place in the starting XI, while Phil Foden is also pushing for a start. Enzo Maresca's men have won 67% of their away matches, scoring an average of 1.67 goals and conceding just 0.67 per game. They have also kept clean sheets in two of their three recent away fixtures.
Forest's poor home record and City's superior quality make the visitors favourites. Man City to Win is the main pick, while Man City Over 1.5 Team Goals offers further value. Finally, Erling Haaland to Score bet should be considered.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday, 7 November 2026 at 17:30 in City Ground, Nottingham.
