Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City prediction, odds and how to watch

Brentford earned a deserved 2-0 Premier League win over Nottingham Forest at the Gtech Community Stadium, with an early Nikola Milenković own goal and a late Igor Thiago strike doing the damage. Forest had more of the ball and more shots but converted none of it into anything that mattered.

Nicolas Jackson scored twice to hand Aston Villa a 2-1 Premier League victory over Manchester City, who dominated possession and chances but could not find a way past a determined Villa side that competed for every single second.

Arsenal host Manchester City on Sunday with form on their side but history very much against them. Something has to give at the Emirates.

Nottingham Forest have conceded seven goals in their last five Premier League matches and kept zero clean sheets. Chelsea arrive on Friday night with problems of their own, but Forest look vulnerable.

Manchester City welcome Napoli to the Etihad on Tuesday night in the UEFA Champions League. Both sides have questions to answer. Only one can afford to leave them unanswered.

Oliver Glasner has warned Nottingham Forest will be hunting for a sixth head coach since August 2025 unless his players 'buy in' to sweeping changes, after a 2-0 defeat at Brentford left the club bottom-six and the Premier League's lowest scorers.

Nicolas Jackson's brace fired Aston Villa to a 2-1 win over Manchester City, ending the leaders' perfect start and proving Unai Emery's post-Istanbul rebuild is working on the pitch, not just in mood.
