Manchester City and Nottingham Forest meet in the Premier League for the first time in over 20 years tonight.
City came from 2-0 down to beat Crystal Palace last time out, largely thanks to Erling Haaland’s hat-trick, while Forest performed admirably in defeat to Tottenham.
That could give Forest hope in what will likely be their toughest test this season.

Man City vs Nottingham Forest prediction
Nottingham Forest had the best of their game against Tottenham on Sunday without ever truly testing their opponents, who ended up running out 2-0 winners. They will need to be far more clinical against a team in Man City who just do not know when they are beat.
City should make relatively easy work of Steve Cooper and his 18 summer signings.
City to win 2-0.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
