Nottingham Forest and Manchester City square off in an English Premier League fixture on Saturday, with both teams battling to finish in the top four. 

The champions have been showing signs of improvement lately and have the added motivation of being able to leapfrog Forest with a win. With the hosts looking below their best lately, an away win could be on the cards here. 

Nottingham Forest Form


Nottingham Forest have struggled to find their best form lately and face intense pressure in the race for the top four. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are currently third in the table but could drop to fifth this weekend if results do not go their way. 

Things are for Nottingham Forest at the moment, they are winless in four of the last five Premier League matches.They played a 0-0 draw with Arsenal in their previous fixture and progressed to the FA Cup quarter-finals on penalties following a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town.

It is not all doom and gloom for Forest, who have done some good work at the City Ground lately. They are unbeaten in their last nine home matches across all competitions and will head into Saturday’s clash with some confidence.

Manchester City Form


It is a testament to Manchester City’s recent improvement that they can climb to third in the table with a win at the City Ground. They bounced back from a 2-0 home defeat to Liverpool to claim a 1-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur last time out in the Premier League before beating Plymouth Argyle 3-1 in the FA Cup fifth round. 

That win at Tottenham is part of a string of fine performances on the road for Manchester City, who are unbeaten in three of their last four Premier League away matches. Among the results in that run for Pep Guardiola’s team is a 6-0 victory at Ipswich Town.

Erling Haaland remains key for Manchester City and has 20 Premier League goals this season, and has also scored seven times in the last 10 matches. The Citizens often make fast starts and have scored first in three of their last four away matches in the league.

Head to Head


Manchester City seem to always get the better of Nottingham Forest and are unbeaten in their last five meetings, claiming four wins in that run. The Citizens claimed a 3-0 home victory in the reverse fixture back in December in the middle of their rough patch.

Verdict

Manchester City have dominated this fixture in the last few years and eased to a comfortable 3-0 victory in the middle of their slump. They have picked up some solid results on their recent travels and with Nottingham Forest looking out of sorts, an away win is expected here.
 
Haaland’s form in front of goal has been pivotal for Manchester City and the striker is expected to score. The Citizens are also set to maintain their trend of scoring first and should grab the opening goal for the sixth straight time against Forest.
