Man City v Nottingham Forest
📅
Kick Off: Wednesday 4th December at 19:30
🏆
Competition: Premier League
Manchester City will be desperate to stop the rot after they lost their fourth Premier League game in a row at the weekend.
Pep Guardiola’s side have the home advantage against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night but the visitors have lost one fewer games this season and sit just a point and a place behind the Citizens.
⭐ Man City v Nottingham Forest Best Bets
Manchester City haven’t kept a single clean sheet in any of their last 6 matches across all competitions and Nottingham Forest have only failed to score in one of their last 6 outings in the Premier League.
BTTS has landed in 67% of Manchester City’s home games in the league this season, while half of Forest’s away trips in the Premier League have produced goals at both ends of the pitch.
👕 Man City v Nottingham Forest Predicted XI
🔍 Man City v Nottingham Forest Players to Watch
🔵 Erling Haaland
Manchester City’s Norwegian goal-machine is the top scorer in the Premier League this season with 12 goals and has been in good form of late despite his teams’ recent run of results. Haaland has scored 8 goals in his last 10 appearances for club and country with his last 2 goals arriving in the 3-3 draw with Feyenoord in the Champions League last week.
The former Borussia Dortmund frontman scored a goal in both of City’s 2-0 wins home and away against Forest last season.
🔴 Ryan Yates
Nobody has committed more fouls in a Nottingham Forest shirt this season than Ryan Yates and in a game where the visitors are going to be chasing the ball a lot, we’re backing the English midfielder to commit his fair share of fouls.
Yates has given away 21 fouls so far this season, 4 more than Morgan Gibbs-White and 10 more than City’s worst offender, Erling Haaland who is on 11 fouls. The 27-year-old has featured in all 13 league games for his club and is averaging 1.61 fouls per game.
🔵 Rico Lewis
Rico Lewis, who started City’s last game against Liverpool, has featured 12 times in the Premier League this season, 11 of which have been from the starting lineup. No player in the Man City squad has drawn more fouls than Lewis in the league this season (17) with his nearest contender being Phil Foden on 13.
With Lewis expected to start once again this week and City expected to dominate the possession, we can see the 20-year-old drawing at least 2 fouls on Tuesday night.

💻 Man City v Nottingham Forest Form and Tactics
Manchester City have of late mostly been setting up in a 4-1-4-1 system, the Citizens have had the majority of the possession in every single game this season – but this has left them open to being counterattacked.
Nottingham Forest are expected to go with a 4-2-3-1 formation on Wednesday night, the visitors’ xG has only reached 2+ on two occasions in the league this season, but their pace in wide areas could cause Pep Guardiola’s side some serious issues here.
