Match Facts
Nottingham Forest have lost just three of their last 16 top-flight home games against Manchester City (W10 D3), going down 2-0 in 1985, 3-1 in 1990 and 2-0 in 1993.
Manchester City are looking to complete their first league double over Nottingham Forest since 1999-00 in the second tier, and their first in the top-flight since 1990-91.
Between May 1991 and December 1994, Nottingham Forest were unbeaten in seven league games against reigning top-flight champions (W4 D3). Since then, they’ve lost eight of their nine such games (D1), conceding 32 goals across these matches.
Nottingham Forest have won just one of their last nine Premier League games (D3 L5), though they are unbeaten in their last three at the City Ground (W1 D2).
Nottingham Forest have kept just one clean sheet in their last 23 Premier League games, with that coming via a 2-0 win over West Ham in February.
Manchester City have lost both of their Premier League games in the Midlands so far this season, going down 2-1 at Wolves and 1-0 at Aston Villa. They last lost three consecutive such visits between March and December 2008.
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo has won three of his last five Premier League encounters with Man City (L2), including his most recent one with Spurs in August 2021 (1-0). In fact, the Portuguese has lost just one of his four home top-flight matches against Man City boss Pep Guardiola (W2 D1), a 1-3 loss with Wolves in September 2020.
Man City boss Pep Guardiola will become the 19th manager to take charge of 300 Premier League games in this match, and just the fifth to do so for a single club. Six of the last seven bosses to do so have lost their milestone match, with the exception being a 3-0 win for Jürgen Klopp against Aston Villa earlier this season.
Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White has been involved in four goals in his last three Premier League home games (2 goals, 2 assists). Indeed, since their return to the top-flight last season, Gibbs-White has been involved in 19 goals at the City Ground, at least eight more than any other player (8 goals, 11 assists).
Chris Wood’s first Premier League goal for Nottingham Forest came against Man City in this exact fixture last term. He’s been involved in six goals across his last nine home league starts for Forest (5 goals, 1 assist).
