What to Know

Manchester City is headed to The City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest with hopes of sweeping the series. They will face off against one another at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday. Man City has a defense that allows only one goal per game, so Nottingham Forest's offense will have their work cut out for them.

It was all tied up nothing to nothing at halftime, but Man City was not quite Manchester United's equal in the second half when they met four weeks ago. Man City fell a goal shy of the Red Devils, losing 2-1.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest got themselves on the board against Leicester City four weeks ago, but Leicester never followed suit. Nottingham Forest was able to grind out a solid victory over Leicester, winning 2-0. The score was all tied up at the break nothing to nothing, but Nottingham Forest was the better team in the second half.

Nottingham Forest's win lifted them to (14th place with 24 points) while Manchester City's defeat dropped them down to (first place with 51 points). Allowing an average of 1.79 points per game, Nottingham Forest hasn't exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We'll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming match.
