Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Steve Ashfield | in Premier League Predictions
Winning the Premier League for a fifth successive season is looking unlikely for Manchester City. They are fifth in the table and on Wednesday are home to sixth placed Nottingham Forest. The Citizens have gone seven games without a win but that's only part of the story. They have conceded 19 goals in those seven matches, six of which have ended in defeat. They are now 11 points behind leaders Liverpool who they lost 2-0 to on Sunday. City are outside the top four on goal difference and Forest will go above them if winning this match.
Nottingham Forest returned to winning ways with a 1-0 home win over Ipswich Town on Saturday. They needed a Chris Wood penalty to secure that win after losing their previous two league fixtures. Of their six away league matches this season, Forest have won three (including a victory at Anfield) and only been beaten at Arsenal. Can they get a win at the Etihad? Here's our match prediction.

Manchester City - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis
A form table for the last five Premier League games has Manchester City down in 18th place. They have lost their last four league fixtures with ten goals conceded and have now gone seven matches in all competitions without a win. In each of those seven matches they have conceded at least twice and their defending looked very shaky indeed at Anfield on Sunday when losing 2-0 to Liverpool.
City's title hopes are in tatters.
Their title hopes are in tatters at present and the rest of the season may be about securing a top four finish. Their last home league game saw them lose 4-0 to Spurs and then Feyenoord scored three against them in the Champions League. Nine of their last ten home league games have had over 2.5 goals scored in them. They'd gone 35 league games without a loss before being beaten by Spurs.
Nottingham Forest are only a point behind Manchester City after 13 league games. They won at the weekend and needed that after successive losses to Newcastle United and Arsenal. They have three away league wins this season and four of their last five games have had over 2.5 goals scored.

Manchester City & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis
Good news for Manchester City has been rather thin on the ground of late. One piece of good news came at Anfield on Sunday with the return of Jeremy Doku who has recovered from his thigh injury. He could start this match against Forest.
Grealish could play a central role for City.
Others in contention to start the match are Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne. They did play in Sunday's defeat but didn't come on until the 79th minute. Pep Guardiola has been talking about using Grealish in a more central role as he looks for a way to cure his side's woes. It's yet to be confirmed who will be in goal for City. Stefan Ortega was between the sticks on Sunday but Ederson might be recalled.
Nottingham Forest had both Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White in the squad for their 1-0 home win over Ipswich Town on Saturday. Elanga hurt his shoulder against Arsenal a couple of weeks ago and only made a brief appearance against Ipswich. Jota Silva replaced him and had an impressive game on Saturday so Elanga might be on the bench again on Wednesday. There are still fitness worries over Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare.

Our Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Just what is going on at Manchester City? They can't win and just keep on conceding goals and are 11 points behind leaders Liverpool. While they only lost 2-0 at Anfield on Sunday it could have been a lot more than that. They've even conceded seven goals in their last two home matches.
Nottingham Forest returned to winning ways on Saturday and a win here will take them above City. Chris Wood is in good form and could prosper against City's shaky defence. Our main Manchester City v Nottingham Forest prediction is over 2.5 goals to be scored.
