We simulated Man City vs Nottingham Forest to get a Premier League score prediction

Manchester City will bid to continue their 100% winning record this season as they host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this afternoon.

Despite a first-half scare, City came from behind to win 3-1 against Red Star Belgrade in their Champions League opener on Tuesday night, with Julian Alvarez continuing his tremendous start to the season with another two goals. After last season's treble, City have shown no sign of complacency with Pep Guardiola's side top of the Premier League and the only team yet to drop points.

Next up for City is Nottingham Forest, with Steve Cooper's side currently sitting eighth in the league with seven points from five games. Guardiola's side dismantled Forest in a 6-0 win at the Etihad last season, though the Reds managed to hold them to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture. So, could City make it six wins from six in the Premier League? Let's take a look.

We predict that Forest could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with their line-up as follows: Turner; Aina, McKenna, Worrall, Tavares; Sangare, Mangala; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Awoniyi.

City almost got off to the perfect start when Jeremy Doku intercepted a poor back pass to go one-on-one with Matt Turner just 45 seconds in, but the Belgian could
