Match Preview:
Nottingham Forest head into Saturday’s game having won six of their previous nine games across all competitions, including a sensational 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur a fortnight ago. However, Sean Dyche and his men failed to capitalise on that result as the Tricky Trees delivered a lacklustre performance in their 1-0 defeat away at Fulham – a result which keeps Forest just one spot above the bottom three.

Nottingham will be leaning on their home form in this game, with the team managing four wins from their previous six games at the City Ground – a run which includes just one home loss since Dyche’s arrival.

Manchester City made headlines this week after Guardiola vowed to weigh his players ahead of their trip to Nottingham, threatening to leave people out of the squad should they come back with excess Christmas mass.

The comments proved that Guardiola is not leaving anything to chance in this title race, though his confidence will have grown over December after overseeing a seven-match winning run across all competitions.

City have been particularly ruthless in recent weeks, winning their last three Premier League games by a 3-0 scoreline. Should they continue on that trajectory, the Citizens could become the first club in English top flight history to win four consecutive matches by three goals or more and keep a clean sheet in each encounter. Guardiola’s men have conceded just one goal in five games, which came in a 2-1 victory away against Real Madrid in the Champions League earlier this month.

Match Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-3 Manchester City
Man City are enjoying a sensational run of form, and they are unlikely to be stopped by an inconsistent Nottingham Forest side. The Citizens lost on their previous trip to the City Ground, but with their sights firmly set on the Premier League crown, they will be determined to set the record straight. With that in mind, we are backing a big win for the visitors.
