Managerial Matchup: A key talking point for the fixture is the presence of Sean Dyche in the Forest dugout, who took over earlier in the season. Guardiola's side will need to be at their best to break down a Dyche-led defence that has historically proven difficult to crack at the City Ground.
Team News & Kits: City are expected to wear their "rain-inspired" third kit for this trip. While Forest have been boosted by recent form, they will be facing a City side currently spearheaded by the league's top scorer, Erling Haaland.
