Nottingham Forest vs Man City LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and more today

Ahead of the incoming team news, a reminder of each of the contenders’ remaining Premier League games.

Here’s where the title could be won and lost…

Pep Guardiola had previously said that Liverpool’s surprise derby defeat to Everton served as a warning to his players ahead of a 4-0 thrashing of Brighton.

The City manager will be urging his players to heed of that advice again today as they face a Forest side that is battling to stay in the Premier League.

“I said to the players what happened to Liverpool can happen to us and can happen to Arsenal,” said the Spaniard.

“People didn’t expect them to lose against Crystal Palace and yesterday but it can happen to us – it’s football.

City boss Guardiola guided his side to the treble last season but feared the club may not able to sustain its relentless pursuit of silverware this term.

The reigning champions are in control of their own destiny as they prepare to begin their final five top-flight fixtures on Sunday afternoon at what is expected to be a hostile City Ground.

“Fighting again for the Premier League is a dream come true.

“I could not expect it, honestly. I know the dream was to be there but what happened in the past, I thought this season I might not be able to do it.”

City are unsurprisingly the favourites for today’s game, priced at 2/7. A draw is offered at 5/1, while a home win has odds of 11/1.

Taiwo Awoniyi could again miss out for Nottingham Forest, while Willy Boly remains sidelined.

Erling Haaland is again a doubt for Manchester City having missed their last two games. Pep Guardiola is again likely to shuffle his squad as he manages minutes in a busy run-in.

Pep Guardiola’s title chasers kept up their pursuit of a fourth consecutive title by sweeping aside Brighton on Thursday night, showcasing ominous intent as the run-in heats up.

The club control their own destiny with a game in hand over rivals Arsenal and Liverpool still to come, though their hosts will be out to throw them off course.

After plenty of noise around the defeat to Everton, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men will hope to make a statement on the pitch as they look to stave off relegation.

Here’s everything you need to know.
