However, they suffered losses against Fulham and Everton, failing to score in either match.

Manchester City, meanwhile, boasts a strong winning streak, having won all of their last three matches. They defeated West Ham, Crystal Palace, and Sunderland, each with a commanding 3-0 scoreline. On average, City has scored 2.0 goals per game in their last five matches, with an expected goals scored of 1.648.

Final Prediction

Manchester City is expected to leverage their recent form and position in the standings to secure a win against Nottingham Forest. Their impressive goal-scoring ability and robust defense give them a clear edge in this matchup. A key factor to watch will be City's ability to maintain their defensive solidity, which could prove crucial in stifling any offensive threats from Nottingham Forest.
