Nottingham Forest will travel to the Etihad to face Manchester City in the Premier League, and Pep Guardiola is on a mission to resolve the current crisis.
Nuno Espirito Santo avoided the slide last time out against Ipswich, as his Nottingham Forest side had to rely on another goal from Chris Wood.
Facing Manchester City is a whole different ball game though, and they’ll be hungrier than ever to put things right after being dominated by Liverpool.
Guardiola is well aware of Nottingham Forest’s quality, as he compared them to Brighton after their fine start to the Premier League campaign.
Interestingly, the Manchester City has has started doing something in recent days that doesn’t bode well for Nottingham Forest, given the master he is.
Pep Guardiola unreachable as he plots a way out of the Manchester City crisis
Nottingham Forest will have their own set gameplan, just like the one Nuno used to bag the bragging rights of being the only team to beat Liverpool this season.
However, it seems as if Guardiola is working on his own, and given the master tactician he is, you can bet everything will start to fall into place.

Predictions for the Manchester City clash
Paul Merson has predicted a 2-1 win for Manchester City, but he did reveal how Nottingham Forest can hurt an already fragile defence.
Meanwhile, Chris Sutton thinks that Chris Wood and Erling Haaland will both score, stating that the score will end up being 2-2 in an entertaining encounter.
It’s going to be a tough game, there’s no doubting that, but we feel as though it all depends on what Manchester City side turns up on the night.
We have the pace, power and quality to really hurt them in the attacking third if we can make the most of chances on the counter-attacker, as well as giving Haaland no breathing space.
