Manchester City v Nottingham Forest Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 7.30pm UK Time, Wednesday 4th December
Confidence-depleted Premier League champions Manchester City will be desperate to end their seven-game winless run on Wednesday evening when they entertain a Nottingham Forest side which sit just one point behind them in the league standings.
Six fingers
Pep Guardiola held aloft six fingers to the Anfield crowd as a reminder of how many times his side have lifted the Premier League title on his watch, however it is also the number of defeats that City have endured in their last seven competitive outings. The latest setback – a 2-0 loss to Liverpool – ended with the Citizens some eleven points adrift in the race for the 2024/25 Premier League title and Guardiola’s troops will need to pull off the best ever comeback in the history of the Premier League if they are to once again finish the season top of the pile. Indeed, City are in real danger of losing back-to-back home games in the league for the first time since May 2021 and Guardiola will be doing his utmost to ensure that this doesn’t happen.
Top six
Midweek opponents Nottingham Forest managed to limit their losing run to just two games when they edged past struggling Ipswich Town to the tune of 1-0 at the weekend, Chris Wood scoring the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 49th minute. This wasn’t exactly a vintage performance from the Tricky Trees but they nevertheless sit comfortably in the top six of the Premier League table, just a single point behind Man City ahead of their midweek meeting.
Attacking talent
Indeed, Forest have been excellent on their travels this season – aside from the trip to the Emirates Stadium – and we envisage them giving the fallen defending champions a run for their money here. Nevertheless, Guardiola has a wealth of attacking talent at his disposal and a much-changed attack could help send the home side over the line and to their first win since 26th October.
Back Man City to win and both teams to score at best odds of 19/10
