Nottingham Forest welcome Manchester City to the City Ground this evening with both sides desperate for three points ahead of the November international break.
Oliver Glasner’s side have endured a difficult start to the Premier League season, winning just one of their opening nine matches to leave them 19th in the table.
Forest have failed to win any of their last five league games and suffered another setback last weekend, losing away to Brentford.
Manchester City, meanwhile, arrive in Nottingham looking to get their title challenge back on track following successive Premier League defeats.
Enzo Maresca’s side won their opening seven league matches but have since lost to Aston Villa and Brighton, allowing Arsenal to move clear at the top of the standings.
City did return to winning ways in Europe on Wednesday, beating RB Leipzig 3-2 in the Champions League to strengthen their position in the league phase.
