Manchester City will hope to keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal as they host relegation candidates Nottingham Forest this evening at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s side have won five of their last six in the league, but need the Gunners to slip up if they are to close the gap at all. They have failed to do so after beating Leeds, Newcastle and Fulham in recent weeks.
With a huge FA Cup fifth-round clash against Newcastle and a two-legged Champions League meeting with Real Madrid looming on the horizon, Guardiola could do with a win to continue building momentum ahead of a season-defining run of matches.
He may have to do so without the services of star striker Erling Haaland, though, as the Norwegian is dealing with a knock and could miss the tie.
Forest have improved slightly under the guidance of Vitor Pereira, who replaced Sean Dyche last month, though they remain without a win in the league since his appointment.
Sunday’s defeat by Brighton ensured Forest finished the weekend just two points above the relegation zone, and they will not be optimistic of putting any daylight between themselves and West Ham after facing City.
