Nottingham Forest vs Man City: TV Channel, kick-off time, team news, prediction, referee and VAR

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City takes place this weekend as the Blues embark on another away trip.

Manchester City comfortably swept aside Brighton 4-0 on Thursday night, with goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Julian Alvarez and a Phil Foden brace.

The result takes Pep Guardiola’s side back up to second above Liverpool and just a point behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand.

City still haven’t lost a domestic game since December and will be confident ahead of facing relegation strugglers Nottingham Forest.

The Blues defeated them 2-0 earlier in the season but the manager will no doubt be hoping Rodri keeps his cool this time around and avoids a red card.

Nottingham Forest vs Man City prediction

Forest have won just once in their last 10 games and appear to be in free fall as they continue to embarrassingly lose their heads over refereeing decisions.

They are sliding perilously close to the drop zone and City should have no problem in easily dispatching them, even if they drew at the City Ground last season.

Prediction: Nottingham Forest 0-4 Manchester City.
