Manchester City continue their bid for an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title away at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
The champions piled the pressure back on current leaders Arsenal by easing to a 4-0 victory at Brighton on Thursday evening without the services of Erling Haaland.
They are now only a point behind the Gunners with a game in hand and will fancy their chances against a Forest side battling relegation. Still, Pep Guardiola is refusing to get carried away.
Nottingham Forest vs Man City is scheduled for a 4.30pm BST kick-off time on Sunday 28 April, 2024.
The City Ground in Nottingham will host.

Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi is slowly returning to training, although it’s uncertain if this game comes too soon. Willy Boly is not expected to feature for the hosts.
City, meanwhile, were without Haaland for Thursday’s game with Brighton following the muscle injury that ruled him out of the FA Cup semi-final win over Chelsea. John Stones was fit enough for the bench but did not come on.

Forest held to a 1-1 draw here against City last season but surely do not have enough to halt a Guardiola team in this kind of form.
