Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest
Manchester City are heading into this match in poor form, having lost their last two games and only winning one of their last five. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, are in much better shape. They have won two of their last five matches, including a big 5-0 win away from home, and have only lost once in that time. Recent meetings between these two sides have often been high-scoring, with the last clash ending in a 2-2 draw and plenty of goals in their previous encounters.
With Manchester City struggling and Nottingham Forest looking strong and confident, this match feels very open. Nottingham Forest have shown they can score freely, especially away from home, and City look vulnerable at the back. Given the current form of both teams, Nottingham Forest are the team most likely to come away with the win.
