Live football: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City at 19:30 today, Premier League Round 18

Nottingham Forest approaches this match with a range of emotions. Six wins in their last nine games across all competitions clearly show signs of revival. Notably, the 3-0 win against Tottenham two weeks ago gave a big morale boost. However, Forest failed to maintain this momentum, losing 0-1 away to Fulham. This disappointing display leaves Sean Dyche’s team just above the relegation zone.

Therefore, hosting Manchester City is a vital match for the City Ground side. Nottingham has been strong at home, winning four of their last six games there. Moreover, since Dyche’s appointment, Forest have lost only one home game. Also, the memory of last season’s 1-0 victory over Man City remains significant. If they repeat that result, it would mark two consecutive wins over City after a 30-year wait. Additionally, three points could help Forest extend an eight-point gap from the relegation zone.
