Manchester City take on Nottingham Forest as they welcome them to the Etihad Stadium this Wednesday night hoping to make it back-to-back wins in their title defending campaign. The Sky Blues come into the match on the back of a 4-2 victory against Crystal Palace last weekend, while Forest suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday.
The Mancunian giants remain undefeated in the last four league matches but have secured ten points falling short and remaining below Arsenal at the top of the table. Nottingham Forest find themselves in the fourteenth position above Aston Villa having won once in the last four games.
