A big game in the shootout to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League table is on the agenda here, as Nottingham Forest and Manchester City meet at the City Ground. Forest have had their first real wobble of the campaign in recent weeks, but they have their Champions League hopes in their own hands and their home record has been excellent this term. City meanwhile are showing small signs of improvement, and they know this is a huge game for their European hopes next term.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Analysis
This should be an entertaining encounter for all punters and EPL betting sites, between two sides with plenty to play for.
Nottingham Forest
With their place in the last 8 of the FA Cup secured against Ipswich Town on penalties last weekend, Forest should arrive full of confidence ahead of this one against the champions. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are very well organised, particularly at home and they have had Champions League football in their sights for a fair few weeks now. Picking up points against sides around them is a key objective for the Tricky Trees and this is a huge game in their season, something that has been identified by many punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: As they have done for much of the season, Forest are injury free once more for this one.
Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup:
Selz, Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams, Danilo, Anderson, Gibbs-White, Elanga, Hudson-Odoi & Wood.
Manchester City
Ascertaining where Manchester City are at this point in the season is very tricky, but Pep Guardiola’s rebuild at the Etihad looks to be taking hold a little. The blues dug deep to overcome Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup last weekend, a competition that remains their only hope of a trophy, in what has been a poor season for City. Finishing in the top 4 is their next goal and they know they will need to be at their best to get anything from this tough trip to the City Ground.
Team news: Rodri, Nathan Ake, Oscar Bobb, Manuel Akanji and John Stones all miss out here for City.
Manchester City Predicted Lineup:
Ederson, Nunes, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol, Nico, Bernardo, Foden, Savio, Marmoush & Haaland.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Prediction
Finishing in the Champions League places is a huge incentive here for both Nottingham Forest and Manchester City and they meet here, with plenty on the line. Forest have surpassed expectation all season and sit firmly in the top 4 but the chasing pack are closing in and they can’t afford too many more slip ups. City are digging in under Pep Guardiola, but their away form has been patchy, and this could be an important home win for Forest.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest to win the match – 13/4 (+325) – Rhino Bet.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City – The Ultimate Bet
Nottingham Forest to win & BTTS – 5/1 (+500) – Fitzdares
While Forest like to keep things tight, City generally bring the chaos and goals should be on the agenda, with Forest ready to pick up an important home win.
