Man City vs Nottingham Forest LIVE early team news, lineup and how to watch

Manchester City are aiming to continue their perfect start to the season as they host Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium today. The Blues have a 100-per-cent record with five wins out of five, giving them a two-point cushion over Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal going into this weekend's fixtures.

City come into the match off the back of a comfortable win in their opening Champions League group match against Crvena Zvezda. But that came at a cost with Bernardo Silva picking up a knock in the first half on Tuesday and he now faces up to 10 days on the sidelines.

There is some good news on the injury front though, with Jack Grealish and Mateo Kovacic having returned to training. Pep Guardiola indicated in his press conference on Friday that while both wouldn't be fit enough to start, there's a chance that they could make the bench.

Forest have enjoyed a bright start to their campaign and currently sit in eighth place - they'll hope for a better outcome than last season's Etihad fixture which saw City run out 6-0 winners.
