Nottingham Forest vs Man City LIVE early team news, predicted line-up and score predictions

Manchester City will be aiming to continue their momentum and pile the pressure on Arsenal when they take on Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

City took a massive step towards regaining their Premier League crown on Wednesday as they defeated the Gunners in a thrilling encounter to take top spot. Mikel Arteta's side could go back to the summit before the Blues play as they take on Aston Villa in the early kick-off but any more dropped points will offer a golden opportunity to gain a lead.

The trip to Forest comes amid a difficult run of away games for City as they will travel to Germany in midweek to face RB Leipzig in the last 16 of the Champions League. With that in mind, Pep Guardiola may be tempted to make rotations to his starting XI even though things finally look to be clicking.

John Stones remains unavailable due to injury but otherwise, the manager has a full squad to choose from.
