Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City (Premier League): Match Preview, Team News, Head to Head, How to Watch | OneFootball

Manchester City can continue their pursuit of the Premier League title with a win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon.

Pep Guardiola’s side can secure a fourth Premier League title in as many years with five wins from their remaining five games, with Manchester City bidding to become the first club in history to achieve such a feat.

Manchester City extended their unbeaten run to 30 matches with a 0-4 win over Brighton on Thursday evening, after a brace from Phil Foden and goals from both Kevin De Bruyne and Julian Alvarez.

The Sky Blues visit Nottingham Forest on Sunday with an opportunity to shatter Liverpool’s title ambitions, with Jurgen Klopp’s side one point behind Manchester City despite having played two more matches.

City dropped points at the City Ground last season however, when Erling Haaland’s goal was cancelled out by a late effort from Chris Wood.

Manchester City were victorious in the reverse fixture in February, winning 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium after goals from Haaland and Foden.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are amidst a relegation fight, and have won just one of their last nine Premier League game ahead of Sunday’s clash at the City Ground.
