City needed a break because it was not happening for them going forward.

They had struggled to find any attacking rhythm until Gvardiol's excellent header from Kevin de Bruyne's corner.

Forest were organised and had kept the champions on a reasonably short leash before that.

Nuno will be fuming the hosts are behind, having conceded from a set piece, after what was a positive start.

Neco Williams is not going to come back on. Gonzalo Montiel is his replacement.

Williams' reaction on the sidelines when City scored sums up the mood inside the City Ground.

The injured Forest player flung his arms in the air in frustration.

Tough on Forest that.

Would Neco Wiliams have been at the post where Josko Gvardiol scored?

It doesn't matter now. City have the lead.

We talked about Nottingham Forest containing them and it is a set piece which have undone them - Forest will be disappointed with that.

Forest are all on their heels, Pep turns to the dugout and he points to someone to say 'well done'.

Neco Williams is having a busy afternoon.

He has been good at getting forward but now he's gone down hurt after blocking a Jack Grealish cross.

Will Forest be forced into the early change?

I have been impressed with Forest. They have defended well and when they break they have a lot of pace.

They are causing Manchester City problems.

Forest fans like what they are seeing!

A lovely move by the team 17th in the table as Neco Williams passes to Morgan Gibbs-White who swings it in for Chris Wood whose header flies over the bar.

Terrific atmosphere inside this famous old ground.

Forest are showing plenty of hunger and desire. This is a proper battle and the home side are certainly up for it.

Biggest cheer of the afternoon as a free-kick by Kevin de Bruyne does not clear the wall. It smashes into Willy Boly who falls to the ground. He's taken one for the team there.

Nothing seems to be clicking for City so far but there is such a long way to go.

There is an anxious moment for the visitors when Callum Hudson-Odoi threatens to burst through before Nathan Ake mops up.

So far so good for Forest.

They're standing toe to toe with Manchester City.

Four attempts - one on target - by the hosts so far.

Ederson eventually climbs to his feet but he is still clutching his shoulder.

He's going to carry on for now.

By the way, Boly was also hurt in that collision but is also ok to go on.

This does not look good for Ederson!

The Manchester City keeper is flattened by Willy Boly and looks in pain.

Is Pep Guardiola going to have to replace his keeper?

This is a decent watch. It's end to end and now Neco Williams tests Ederson with a powerful attempt before a Forest corner is just about scrambled clear.

Close for City!

Chris Wood loses possession inside his own half and Jeremy Doku is on it like a flash.

Just wide by the City player.

Now a free-kick to City out wide but deep inside the Forest half.

There's a lot of pushing and shoving going on inside the box before Kevin de Bruyne swings it in only for Murillo to head behind for a corner.

Not bad from Morgan Gibbs-White!

He looks to bend it around the City wall but it is always rising and comfortably clears Ederson's bar.
