Manchester City host Nottingham Forest in their fifth match of the ongoing Premier League. It is worth noting that both the sides are meeting after a long gap of 13 years. It was an FA Cup third-round match in 2009 that saw Nottingham Forest beating the Citizens 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium. While Manchester City are the defending champion of the the Premier League, Nottingham Forest have qualified for the top-tier English football competition win a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town in the Championship play-off final. They have made it to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years.
