Given the odds, Manchester City are clear favourites heading into their Premier League encounter with the tricky trees. With their superior squad depth, I expect City to secure all three points with ease. Nottingham Forest has proven to be a tricky opponent especially at home, where they have managed to frustrate stronger teams with their compact  and cohesive defensive setup and counter attacking threat City must remain focused and avoid any form of complencancy, as forest has the capability to capitalize on any defensive lapses.
