Nottingham Forest host reigning Premier League champions Manchester City at The City Ground this afternoon in a 3 pm kick-off.

Pep Guardiola’s side are on the back of a triumphant 3-1 win against title-challengers Arsenal at the Emirates in a heated midweek clash. The three points ensured the Blues overtook the Gunners ahead of this weekend’s fixtures.

Phil Foden returns to the starting line-up after a brief spell out of the action and Erling Haaland leads the line after netting his 26th league goal on Wednesday. The Norweigan netted a hat-trick against the Trees in August.
