Prediction: Man City 3-1 Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest have shown their fighting spirit against Man United, Arsenal, and Chelsea FC. They can stun the home side with a goal, but Man City are undoubtedly a favorite side against the Forest. Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez, and Phil Foden have nothing to prove their scoring capability. They can easily destroy the defense of Nottingham Forest.
