Game Preview
All eyes will be on the Premier League title race in the early kick-off from the City Ground, as Man City bid to leapfrog Arsenal in the standings. City have been in red-hot league form, winning each of their last five. They were excellent once again last weekend after cruising to a 3-0 home win over West Ham.
Nottingham Forest remain locked at the bottom end of the standings, following an away defeat against Fulham last Monday. The defeat means that the Tricky Trees sit 17th in the standings at this stage of the season, and they have just a five-point cushion over the relegation places after losing three of their last five.
The Christmas period has been a positive section of the season for both of these teams in recent history. Forest have won their last four played between Christmas Day and New Year, while City have avoided defeat in their last ten fixtures across the same period.
However, attacking issues have been a constant issue for Forest, as they have failed to score in nine games this season. Only Wolves have failed to score in more games. Contrastingly, Man City have won their last three games by a 3-0 scoreline.
Nottingham Forest vs. Man City Picks
Man City are the logical angle to follow when making picks this weekend. Pep Guardiola’s side have been in red-hot recent form, and the strength in the final third of the field ensures that they shouldn’t encounter many issues against the Tricky Trees.
