Nottingham Forest vs Man City predicted line-ups: Team news ...

Manchester City will look to stay at the top of the Premier League table as they visit Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola’s side defeated title challengers Arsenal at the Emirates on Wednesday to leapfrog Mikel Arteta’s side.

Kevin De Bruyne took advantage of an error from Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu before goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland wrapped up a 3-1 win.

Guardiola, though, said his team were only focussed on facing Steve Cooper’s Forest side, who are unbeaten in seven home Premier League games.
