Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

 by Steve Ashfield | in Premier League Predictions

Manchester City look to continue their 100 per cent start to the new Premier League season. They are top of the table and aim to get another three points at home to eighth placed Nottingham Forest. City are two points clear at the top and eight ahead of their opponents in this game. Nottingham Forest narrowly survived relegation last year and have made a good start to the new season. They have seven points from their five games but will be glad to get this fixture out of the way so early in the season.

Manchester City - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis

Manchester City have won both of their matches this week but it's not been an easy ride. They trailed against both West Ham United and Red Star Belgrade but recovered to win. That makes it wins in each of their last seven league and cup games, one via a penalty shootout in the European Super Cup. The goals have again been flowing for City with 14 scored in their five Premier League matches. Erling Haaland is set for another great scoring season with seven league goals already. Only three goals have been conceded so it looks like being another dominant season for them despite a growing injury list. Home form for the Citizens has seen them win their last 12 Premier League games at the Etihad. Three of their five league wins this season has seen them ahead at both half and full time. In the 2022/23 season, the Blues lead at the break and full time in 12 of their home Premier League games and 19 in total.

Nottingham Forest have made a steady start to the new season. It'd be an even better one if they had held on to the quickfire 2-0 lead they took at Old Trafford. They went on to lose that game 3-2, their second away loss of the season after being beaten at Arsenal. At least they won 1-0 at Chelsea, only their second away Premier League since returning to the top flight last season. Monday saw them come from behind to get a home draw with Burnley. They lost 6-0 at the Etihad last season but did hold them to a 1-1 draw at the City Ground.

Manchester City & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis

Manchester City's injury problems continue to mount up. Bernardo Silva is the latest addition and he'll be out for a few weeks after being injured against Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday. With Kevin De Bruyne out for the rest of this year and injuries to Jack Grealish, John Stones and Mateo Kovacic, Pep Guardiola is getting worried about the situation. Should he with the strength in depth that he has in his squad? Kovacic may be in the squad for this game and Doku may get another start afer scoring against West Ham last weekend.

Nottingham Forest will be without the suspended Harry Toffolo. Danilo didn't play against Burnley on Monday and may miss out again this weekend. Other injury doubts include Serge Aurier, Felipe and Wayne Hennessey.
