A crucial top-four clash awaits Nottingham Forest and Manchester City at the City Ground early Saturday morning in a game that could help materialize the hosts' Champions League dreams.

Nottingham Forest are all set to host Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in match week 28 of the Premier League 2024-25 season.

Nottingham Forest are winless in their past nine league games against Manchester City (D2 L7), since a 3-2 win at Maine Road in the second tier in December 1997. Since the start of November, this is Manchester City's eighth Premier League game starting the day in the top four of the table.

Manchester City are without a number of key defenders for Saturday’s Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest.

Manchester City had a week to rest as they are already out of the Champions League. After beating Plymouth Argyle in the fifth round of the FA Cup, they are preparing to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League in an away fixture this weekend.
