Man City vs Nottingham Forest: Prediction, Kick-off Time, Latest Team News

Manchester City are set to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. City are strong favorites to win, while Forest have a poor away record.

Manchester City will be facing Nottingham Forest in a highly anticipated Premier League match this afternoon. Under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, City has been in exceptional form this season, dispelling any doubts about a drop in performance after their treble success last year. With a perfect record of five wins from five games, City is the clear favorite to extend their winning streak against Forest, who have struggled away from home since their promotion.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 3pm BST at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. Unfortunately, due to the 3pm blackout period in English football, the game will not be broadcast live on TV in the UK. However, fans can catch the highlights on BBC One's Match of the Day, which will air at 10.30pm on Saturday night.

City is currently facing some injury concerns, with Bernardo Silva joining the list after picking up a knock in their Champions League victory over Red Star Belgrade. Jack Grealish, Mateo Kovacic, John Stones, and Kevin De Bruyne are also unavailable. On the bright side, summer signings Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes have made a strong impression and could feature prominently in this weekend's match.

As for Nottingham Forest, they are still dealing with the absence of Danilo due to injury. However, Serge Aurier, Willy Boly, and goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey are all pushing for a return to the squad. Despite their efforts, it is difficult to support Forest considering their poor away record since their promotion. On the other hand, City shows no signs of slowing down and should secure a comfortable victory on Saturday.

In their previous encounter at the Etihad, City thrashed Forest 6-0, with Erling Haaland scoring a hat-trick. However, Forest managed to secure a 1-1 draw in the home fixture thanks to Chris Wood's late equalizer in February.

Overall, City's dominance and Forest's struggles away from home make it hard to envision anything other than a convincing 3-0 victory for Manchester City in this match.
