Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
For week 14, he takes on James Ryan, bassist with rock band The Slow Readers Club.
Sutton's prediction: 2-2
Manchester City's form has to turn around at some point, but there is little sign of that happening at the moment.
Nottingham Forest are going to be awkward opponents for them and, as the only team to have beaten Liverpool so far, they will fancy their chances at Etihad Stadium too.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side love defending and they will make it very hard for City to break them down.
City still have the talent but it has not been clicking and, physically, Forest will probably have the edge. The defending champions' confidence is shot to pieces and teams must feel they can get at them.
So, I think there will be goals and this could turn out to be a battle between two big number nines - 'The Wood Chopper’' Chris Wood for Forest and City's Erling Haaland. I fancy both of them to score.
Ryan's prediction: 3-1
City have basically wiped the floor with everyone for the past five years but I am going with my experience of when I used to play football myself and, when you're in a team and have lost a few in a row, then no matter who you are it is so difficult to get out of that rut, which is where City are at the moment. They are going to bounce back at some point. I do think big Chris Wood will get a goal, though.

Image source, Getty ImagesThe joke in the Championship was that Nottingham Forest were safe from relegation when they reached 50 points — whether that was in December or May.
Such was the Reds' experience in the second tier, almost every season either seemed to be pushing for a play-off place or battling the drop.
As it was in the Championship, so it is in the Premier League — almost. Forest's first two years back in the top flight were stubbornly at the wrong end of the table. This season, well… having played a third of the season, Forest are just 10 points off last year's total with a whole month before New Year to come, not including the points deduction.
Obviously, Forest fans know it is too early to be counting chickens but Saturday's win against Ipswich Town proved just how far the club has come. While the difference might have been just one goal, the collective performance ground out three points where we may well have conceded in previous seasons.
Wednesday's match against out-of-sorts Manchester City, just a point ahead of us, and Saturday’s against a resurgent Manchester United — three points below us — are free hits in a sense. With no expectation, and a solid league position, Nuno Espirito Santo's team have a chance to go out and do what they did against Liverpool — hopefully.
Finish the season with double the points we have now and that is a very comfortable mid-to-lower-table finish. Carry on with the points-per-game that we have now and we are brushing up close to the European places.
Regardless, another 15 points from the remaining 25 games and Forest will effectively be safe them relegation. That's really the starting point, or end point, of any season.
The rest is a bonus.

Image source, Getty ImagesWhen Nottingham Forest look back at what I'm sure will be a successful season, the win over Ipswich on Saturday will not be near the top of the 'most memorable games' list - but I think it was really significant.
First, because they proved that they don't have to be at their flowing best to pick up three points. "Back to basics" was the message from their manager Nuno Espirito Santo after the 1-0 victory and apparently that was what he had drummed into the squad throughout the week leading up to the game.
"The basics are simple - let's be solid," he said to us post-match. "And solid is being aggressive, sticking to your task and helping your team-mates."
Secondly, Forest showed yet again that they have impressive depth in their squad.
Jota Silva was excellent on his first Premier League start, winning the crucial penalty. Meanwhile, Neco Williams also looked very comfortable taking his place in the first XI for the first time since August, offering a threat with his set-piece delivery.
And it must have been dispiriting for Ipswich to see so much quality coming off the bench, like Anthony Elanga and Alex Moreno.
"Options," Nuno said. "We have to understand that it doesn't really matter who starts. As long as we understand this philosophy, I think we are going to be OK because we have a good squad."
Thirdly, it is the win that halts the worrying run of two successive defeats, with six goals conceded, that threatened to derail Forest's great start to the campaign.
There are some very tough fixtures coming up for Nuno's side in December, but now they can go into those games with renewed belief and confidence.

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Premier League game at Manchester City (kick-off 19:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Nuno confirmed that team news is "the same" as it was for the previous match against Ipswich.
However, he still does not have a date for Danilo's return as they have to be "patient and careful" with him and make sure they "take the right steps going forward as we don't want any setback".
He said the 1-0 win over Ipswich was an "important" one but there are "always trying to improve the details".
Despite Manchester City's winless run, Nuno believes it "does not take away the quality and the talent they have" and they are "aware" how tough it will still be. He added: "We look at quality and things we have to do. We have to do a lot right to achieve a good performance and result there - that is our ambition."
He said there is "still a long time to go" before the January transfer window and they are just focused on their six games in December.
On whether their strong position in the league can help them attract players: "We don't look at that. I believe we have a good squad. Balanced. We have had moments where they are not all available but, when we have all of them, I believe we can compete with any team."
On being the only side to beat Liverpool so far this season and if that is a marker for matches against the likes of Manchester City: "We look at the Liverpool game and we felt in pride in that performance, but that was so long ago already. We are at a different position in competition now, we put that aside and just focus on Manchester City and how good they are, how tough it is going to be. Focus on ourselves."
The Reds have the opportunity to go up to second or third in the table with a win on Wednesday, but Nuno feels "the table doesn't matter" and added: "But we are positive and we want to challenge ourselves to improve. Doesn't matter about the opponent ahead, you focus on what you have to do and ignore the noise. Focus on your tasks, don't underestimate the situation and value quality of players. This is what I call the right mindset to face a team like City."

Image source, Getty ImagesAfter reaching the heady heights of third at the start of November, Nottingham Forest fans were given a reality check following back-to-back defeats by Newcastle and Arsenal.
While newly promoted Ipswich, at the City Ground, might have been viewed as the ideal opponent to get back to winning ways, there is no doubting the devil on Forest's shoulders whispering "another defeat, it's three on the spin, and everyone will quickly forget your good start".
Nuno Espirito Santo's side came through both the physical and mental test, with a performance once again characterised by two of their biggest strengths - the goalscoring form of Chris Wood and a much-needed return of a robust defensive display.
Wood thumped home his penalty, making it nine goals in 13 matches, reaching the tally seven appearances quicker than his previous best ever start to a Premier League season back in 2017. Rather than bask in all the praise coming his way, the modest Kiwi, who is out of contract next summer, explained to me afterwards this purple patch is entirely down to team-mates making his life "easy" by putting chances "on a plate".
When it comes to the defence, their improvement is a reminder of the importance a full pre-season has for any head coach.
Forest only kept four Premier League clean sheets in the whole of the 2023-24 campaign, with just one of those coming after Nuno's appointment in late December.
Following a summer of work, combined with the shrewd recruitment of Nikola Milenkovic to partner Murillo, they have already stopped the opposition from scoring five times in 13 games.
With the 'curse' of Premier League manager and player of the month put to bed at the weekend, Forest head to an out-of-sorts Manchester City on Wednesday (19:30 GMT) with only Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer enjoying a better 2024 than Wood in front of goal and the second best defensive record in the division.
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town.
Here are some of your comments:
Forest fans
John: Phew. There was a lot riding on this game - we needed a bit of luck and the penalty gave it us. We were doing OK initially, but Ipswich have got spirit and came back into it, so the penalty came at a perfect time to make things easier. It is great to have Morgan Gibbs-White, Chris Wood, Neco Williams and Elliot Anderson back. Jota Silva now deserves his place - he works so hard.
Gary: Forest were pretty solid and organised for the entire game, which is a dramatic change from the previous two seasons in the Premier League. Ipswich Town look the best of the bunch at the other end of the table, and Forest had to be good to win the game.
Andy: A better performance than the last two games, but Callum Hudson-Odoi and Gibbs-White look rusty. This team can't rely on penalties and Chris Wood... this team needs more of a goal threat if we are going to really make the most of the start we have had to the season.
Michael: We should really be scoring more goals against a team that is second bottom of league, but of course three points is good. I think the current league position is very false for Forest, it gives the impression that they are better than they actually are. It is really great where they are, I just hope they can get more wins.
Ipswich fans
Billy: Town were good in the first half. They weathered the early Forest attack and created some good chances. Second half, they started slowly and were punished by Forest. Although the penalty seemed soft, we have made an error and made the referee make a decision against us. We had very little ideas going forward in the second half and didn't create enough clear chances for our attackers.
Kopmac: Unfortunately we turned up with a 'try-not-to-lose' attitude. We didn't start playing until we were behind. We won't stay up with this game plan.
Mike: We had them and their crowd exactly where we wanted them for 50 minutes - Forest and the stadium were flat. Then, out of nothing, a lapse in concentration gives them a new lease of life, lights up the place and it was difficult from that moment on. We never really showed enough guile to open up a stubborn defence, which went to a back five. A poor result!
Robert: I believe Ipswich are stuck at the bottom of the league, because we are lacking quality players in some vital areas and some of our players are struggling at the top level. I can see that we will continue at the bottom, apart from some good wins from time to time. We need to buy quality in January.
Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Premier League player Dion Dublin has praised Nottingham Forest defensive duo Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo, after the centre-backs kept another league clean sheet against Ipswich Town.
Speaking on Match of the Day, Dublin said: "They were solid at the back. They were always in the right positions and, when they had something to hold on to, they remembered what they had done on the training ground.
"Murillo and Milenkovic were absolutely brilliant. They just stayed in that centre-back spot, side by side, making sure Liam Delap - the danger man - didn't get any chance at all.
"They were able to let the ball roll across them because they knew the other central defender was on the toes of the centre-forward as well. The organisation between them was great.
"Milenkovic wanted Delap in certain pockets because he knew he had two or three yards on him. Therefore he was getting him where he wants him - he was in control of what Delap did.
"The two centre-backs just knew exactly what to do and there were no gaps between all four players in Forest's backline.
"At one point they were in a 6-3-1 just to make sure they held on to the lead they had got. There was just no way through - there were red shirts everywhere.
"They are thinking: 'What are you going to do to get past us? We have got the points at the moment and we are going to hold on to them because Nuno has taught us how to do so.' That's five clean sheets they have had."

Image source, Getty ImagesChris Wood has become Nottingham Forest's joint-top goalscorer in Premier League history, along with Bryan Roy (24 goals each).
Meanwhile, he is one of only two players to be either top or joint-top goalscorer for two different sides in the competition (Burnley also), alongside Alan Shearer for Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United.
Since Nuno Espirito Santo's first Premier League game in charge of Nottingham Forest on 23 December 2023, Chris Wood (20) is one of only three players to score at least 20 Premier League goals, along with Erling Haaland (25) and Cole Palmer (23).

Image source, Getty ImagesWho do Nottingham Forest call when they need a goal? Chris Wood, of course.
The New Zealand international was reinstated to the starting line-up after sitting on the bench in the loss at Arsenal last time out and he was back with a bang.
Wood started the match on 23 Premier League goals and ended it on 24 as he became the joint-record goalscorer for Forest in the top flight.
After Sam Szmodics brought down Jota Silva in the early stages of the second half, Wood stepped up to take the spot kick and dispatched with ease high and down the middle of the goal.
Despite not having a shot on target prior to that penalty, Wood looked as cool and composed as ever as he fired his side up to sixth in the league and ended their run of two straight defeats.
As Forest were trying to see out the remainder of the match with the three points intact, Wood was vital in holding the ball up and giving his defence breathing space as Ipswich pushed forward in search of an equaliser.
Up next for Forest are two trips to Manchester as they take on Manchester City on Wednesday before travelling to Old Trafford three days later.
Image source, Getty ImagesNottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day after getting his side back to winning ways: "The main goal was to bounce back from the two previous games. I still believe it has to be like that to go in the game and fight, but organised. There is a balance but the basics for us is not the clean sheet, it is the attitude.
"They are a tough team, we knew that. We started well and they countered the attack. A very tough team. Kieran [McKenna] is doing a great job and they put us against the ropes at the end.
"Chris Wood always takes penalties after training. He is our penalty taker and we totally trust him.
"We will assess the players now. We had players coming back from injury, but we will assess them and then think about the next one."
Image source, Getty ImagesNottingham Forest striker Chris Wood has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day following the win: "It can be tough some days and you have to grind in as a team. We were great defensively. They gave us problems and they are a good side. They have got a good run at home now.
On his goalscoring form: "It is fantastic, but I want to keep going and keep pushing. The team is delivering chances and opportunities. It's easy when they are putting them on a plate [for me].
On the busy fixture schedule: "It is part and parcel of football, especially in England. We know how the schedule can be over Christmas."

Image source, Getty ImagesNottingham Forest star Chris Wood trusts Nuno Espirito Santo's judgement after being benched for last week's defeat at Arsenal.
The striker played just 27 minutes of the 3-0 loss at Emirates Stadium after the international break. That was because he spent the previous fortnight playing for New Zealand in their World Cup qualifiers, scoring twice in an 8-0 win over Vanuatu and a hat-trick as the All Whites demolished Samoa 8-0.
The 22,000 mile round trip between Nottingham and Auckland meant the 32-year-old was given a breather and he has faith in the decisions made by his boss.
"It's the way the manager wanted it," said Wood before Saturday's game with Ipswich. "I trust what he says and does. He's earned that, from me and from the club. Unfortunately we didn't win the game, but we have to trust what he's doing is the best case for the team.
"I love playing for my country, always have and always will do. We have a big campaign coming up, pushing for the Wold Cup. We have more [qualifiers] in March which will determine if we go to the World Cup.
"It's big high-pressure games that can elevate New Zealand football to a higher level. They mean a lot to me - it's not something I've ever thought about turning down. It's about doing the most I can if the body allows it."
Wood also travelled to America to face Mexico and the USA in September and scored once in the All Whites' 3-0 win over Tahiti in Vanuatu last month.
"Over the years, you learn tricks to put yourself in the best possible recovery status," said Forest's eight-goal top scorer. "We have great physios here and with New Zealand, we can switch into different time zones and loadings which matter massively when you are playing international football.
"I've done it for long enough. I know how to do it. I switch on time zones very easily. I don't see it being an issue at all unless I'm arriving a day before game and that's a different story."
