Manchester City have been making life hard for themselves of late and will be hoping for a more straightforward evening when playing host to Nottingham Forest. The reigning Premier League champions have dropped just two points through an unbeaten four-game run at the start of the 2022-23 campaign, but have already had to recover from falling two goals down on a couple of occasions.
Newly-promoted Forest will want to take advantage of any more defensive mishaps at the Etihad Stadium, and GOAL has all of the information you need to stay right up to date with the midweek action in Manchester.
