Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest: H2H Stats and Recent Form
Looking at the h2h stats, recent meetings between Manchester City and Nottingham Forest have been characterized by dominance from the former. The Citizens are unbeaten in their last eight league games against Forest, winning the last four by a remarkable aggregate score of 12-0. Forest have struggled during their trips to the Etihad, with their last win at City coming in 1989. This makes today's game even more thrilling as Forest look to break their poor away record.
Though City have struggled recently, there is no doubting their dominance over Forest at home. Keep an eye on livescore apps for live updates as this exciting live soccer match unfolds.
Team Lineups: What to Expect in Today's Game
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided injury updates on his team ahead of the game. Kevin De Bruyne is close to making his comeback, which will be great news for the Citizens; John Stones, on other hand, is still ruled out with injury, as is Mateo Kovacic. City's team line-ups are expected to show star players such as Erling Haaland, who in his last 11 home games, has reached 15 goals and, probably, will be one of the main threats in this live match. He has also scored four goals in two appearances against Nottingham Forest at the Etihad, so fans can be assured that he will play a crucial role in the game.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, go into this match with the same squad that won against Ipswich Town. While they will be without the long-term absentees Danilo and Ibrahima Sangare, Forest will look to players like Chris Wood, who has scored 12 goals in his last 13 away starts, to inspire them to a historic victory.
Key Insights: Manchester City's Struggles and Nottingham Forest's Resilience
This game will be one of those rare moments for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, as the club has gone seven games without a win in all competitions-something that hasn't happened under Guardiola's reign. City have also lost four consecutive league matches for the first time in Guardiola's managerial career. This live soccer encounter will be crucial for City as they try to halt the slump and get back to winning ways.
While Forest have been resilient this season, they have been strong at home and have kept five clean sheets so far - their best defensive start in the top-flight since 1987. However, their away record against reigning Premier League champions is a cause for concern, with Forest losing their last five away games against the champions by an aggregate score of 21-2. Can Forest cause an upset in today's game?
