Manchester City still remain in the Premier League title hunt after cutting the gap to just one point on league leaders Arsenal.

Nottingham Forest are in desperate need of all three points as they are definitely in a relegation battle following Everton’s win over Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby.

It has not been a great season for Forest on and off the field, and it will get a lot worse if they don’t start to pick up some results.

They have already been docked two points this season and their recent social media outburst about officials have not won them many friends.

Aside from that, they have won just one of their last five matches in the Premier League. They have lost two of their last three games with losses against Tottenham Hotspur and Everton.

It is important to note that Forest have not kept a clean sheet in the Premier League since they beat West Ham United 2-0 at the City Ground in February.

The home side only have two main injury problems with Willy Boly and Taiwo Awoniyi both out with muscle problems.

Manchester City are not giving up their title without a fight this season and are in prime position to retain it.

The Blues jumped into second place thanks to a 4-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Thursday evening.

That victory puts them one point behind leaders Arsenal and two ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand.

City have scored 17 goals on their recent four-game winning run in the Premier League, while they have just conceded four in that time.

Striker Erling Haaland has missed the last two matches with a muscle complaint and there has been no official news on when he is likely to return at the time of writing. Julian Alvarez is expected to continue up front in his absence.

Head to Head

Forest and City have met 82 times over the years with the Tricky Trees winning 26 of them and City just having the upper hand with 32.

Goals from Phil Foden and Haaland saw the defending champions run out 2-0 winners at the Etihad Stadium in September.

City have won four out of their last seven meetings in all competitions with Forest’s only win being a 3-0 success in the FA Cup back in 2009.

The last time Nottingham Forest won in Manchester was back in 1995 when Jason Lee bagged a brace with Steve Stone grabbing the third in a 3-0 victory in a season that saw City relegated from the Premier League.

City look in fine form at the moment and they are odds-on favourites to take another three points. They can be backed at 2/7 to win on the road. Forest are the 15/2 outsiders with the draw available at 9/2.

Nottingham Forest look like a side with no confidence and looking to blame others for their shortcomings.

Manchester City will smell blood and go in for the kill. The Blues do not want to relinquish their hold on the Premier League title and they are willing to use Forest as collateral damage.

In their last four matches they have scored 13 goals and won all four matches. They have not tasted defeat since losing to Aston Villa in December.

Only time will tell if Haaland will play against Forest, but City have enough quality in attack with the likes of Julian Alvarez, Foden and Kevin de Bruyne. This will be a stroll in the park for City with goals aplenty.
