Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Preview
Manchester City will look to advance their pursuit of an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title as they face Nottingham Forest away on Sunday.
The reigning champions increased the pressure on current leaders Arsenal with a comfortable 4-0 win over Brighton on Thursday evening, despite the absence of Erling Haaland.
Since drawing back-to-back games against Arsenal and Liverpool, the Sky Blues have been unstoppable. They’ve won each of their last four matches, while their closest rivals, Arsenal and Liverpool, have experienced setbacks.
Arsenal suffered one loss in five games, and Liverpool managed to win only twice in the same period. This has shifted the momentum back in City’s favour for the title.
Forest find themselves just one point above the relegation zone with four games remaining, though this standing includes their disputed points deduction, which they’re contesting.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad has endured a rough patch, going winless in their last three matches and suffering two defeats. Their most recent loss, a 2-0 setback against Everton, was tainted by controversial incidents.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Betting Tips and Predictions
Manchester City To Win & Both Teams To Score
Pep Guardiola’s side has been impeccable recently; they truly do become a different beast when it comes to the latter stages of the Premier League. They leave little margin for error for rival teams aspiring to contend for the title.
City have secured victories in their last four Premier League matches and have comfortably won four out of their last five away games, with a draw against Liverpool being the only exception. We expect them to extend their winning streak to five matches when they face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday.
While Nottingham Forest managed to hold Manchester City to a 1-1 draw at home last season, we predict it will be a different outcome this time around.
Guardiola’s teams are known for their relentless pursuit of winning, and once they sense an opportunity, they rarely let their opponents off the hook. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Forest have only secured one win in their last five matches.
When it comes to both teams scoring, in City’s last seven away matches, six of them have seen goals from both sides. With players like Morgan Gibbs-White in fine form, it wouldn’t be a surprise for Nuno Espirito Santo’s team to also find the back of the net.
Over 3.5 Goals
Over 3.5 goals is our second tip in Sunday’s clash at the City Ground, which is 67/50 on Lucky Block’s latest Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City odds.
This tip is quite straightforward. Manchester City have been on a goal-scoring spree lately, consistently netting four goals or more in each of their last four Premier League matches. If they maintain this trend, Sunday’s game could witness bags of goals.
And this is without considering the home side’s scoring ability. Forest have found the back of the net in their last three home games, including an impressive 3-1 victory over Fulham at the beginning of April.
Nottingham Forest Team News
Taiwo Awoniyi is easing back into training, though it’s unclear if he’ll be ready for this match. Meanwhile, Willy Boly is expected to be absent for the hosts.
Nottingham Forest Predicted Line-Up: Sels, Williams, Niakhate, Murillo, Aina, Dominguez, Danilo, Reyna, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi, Wood
Manchester City Team News
City had to manage without Haaland in Thursday’s match against Brighton due to a muscle injury that had also kept him out of the FA Cup semi-final win over Chelsea. While John Stones was fit enough to be named on the bench, he ultimately did not see any action in the game.
Manchester City Predicted Line-Up: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden, Doku, Grealish, Alvarez
