Manchester City look to close the gap on Arsenal in the Premier League, as they welcome recently promoted Nottingham Forest to the Etihad Stadium. 

The Sky Blues come into the match off the back of an electrifying comeback win over Crystal Palace. 

An own goal from John Stones, and a converted corner kick left Pep Guardiola’s side two down at half-time.

A goal from Bernardo Silva and a hat-trick from Erling Haaland rescued the three points for the Premier League Champions in the second-half.

When discussing his first hat-trick in the English top-flight, the Norwegian stated that it was a performance to be proud of.

"Really good feeling. A proud moment for me and my family. We keep going. These games are why I'm here - to turn things around when there are difficult times," said Haaland.

For the second straight match, Guardiola will have some difficulties when selecting his starting eleven, with doubts remaining over the fitness of Nathan Ake, Kalvin Phillips, and Jack Grealish.

On the other side of the ticket sits Nottingham Forest, who have had a challenging start to life in the top division. 

So far, the Reds have only claimed four points, after beating West Ham United and drawing against Everton. 

One team who Steve Cooper’s side failed to take points off of is Tottenham Hotspur, who won 2-0 at The City Ground thanks to a brace from Harry Kane, on Sunday. 

Despite losing, a highlight for Forest was the penalty save by Dean Henderson which denied Kane a hat trick.
