- Competition: Premier League
- Date: 8th March 2025
- Kick-off: 12:30 UK / 13:30 CET
- Venue: City Ground
A huge clash in the English top flight awaits us at midday on Saturday, when two teams separated by a single point and fighting for the Champions League places meet at the City Ground.
Nottingham have taken their foot off the gas recently, but many still regard their campaign as a very successful one as they currently sit in third place. The Reds prepare for the visit of City this weekend after five consecutive games without a win, with two defeats and three draws. However, Nuno Espírito Santo's men will be full of confidence having booked their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on penalties against Ipswich in midweek.
Manchester City hit another low in the second week of February, when they were knocked out of the Champions League play-offs by Real Madrid 6:3 on aggregate. Pep's men suffered another defeat, this time in the Premier League against Liverpool just four days later, but they prepare for Saturday's game after back to back wins. The Citizens defeated Tottenham a week ago to keep their place in the top four, before coming from a goal down to beat Plymouth Argyle 3-1 in the fifth round of the FA Cup last weekend.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Betting Tips: Man City to win
Forest have lost form over the last few weeks. The Reds couldn’t beat relegation candidates Ipswich Town over the course of 120 minutes at home last time out and have lost two of their last three league games. Even when they were in the form of their lives City got them beaten 3-0 and I expect a similar outcome this weekend.

Carlos Miguel will once again be unavailable to Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito this weekend due to a hamstring injury, but the Reds have no other problems.
Chris Wood has been in fine form for Forest this season, finding the back of the net 18 times in the Premier League this term, and will lead the line this weekend, while Gibbs-White will retain his number 10 role.
