Manchester City moved back to the top of the Premier League standings for the first time since the second weekend of the season in midweek. They will be looking to press home their dominance on Saturday, as they travel to the East Midlands to take on Nottingham Forest.
Before Betting On Nottingham Forest vs Man City
There was always a feeling that if Man City got their nose in front in the title race, then they could be hard to beat. Well, they finally edged ahead in the battle for the title in midweek, as they landed a 3-1 success over Arsenal at the Emirates. Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland scored the crucial goals in the second half, but they could find themselves back second before this game on Saturday should Arsenal beat Aston Villa.
City cruised to a 6-0 win in the first meeting between the sides this season, and they will be looking to achieve a first double over the side from the East Midlands since the 1990-91 season. The previous league meeting between the sides came in the second tier in 2001, with the clubs playing out a 1-1 draw.
Nottingham Forest currently sit 14th in the standings, and they are six points above the drop zone coming into this weekend. They have won three of their previous five matches in the Premier League, but they were handed a tenth defeat of the campaign last weekend. A surprise victory on Saturday could lift Forest up to 12th in the standings.
Their home record has been excellent in recent months, as they have gone seven without a loss at the City Ground in the Premier League. Over that run, they have picked up four victories. But, it’s likely that they would be extremely happy with just a point coming into the weekend.
