Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Etihad Stadium
Follow live coverage as Manchester City face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Erling Haaland has started the campaign in outrageous form after signing from Borussia Dortmund and newly promoted Forest will be hard-pressed to stop him from adding to his tally tonight.
Forest themselves have made 18 transfers on the incoming side to entirely restructure the squad and give themselves the best chance of survival, but this will be about the most difficult fixture they face all season long.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest
SAVE! Rodri flicks on Gundogan's corner at the near post and it runs through to Alvarez! The attacker pokes it towards goal from six yards, but Henderson is there to push it to safety.
Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest
Chance! Silva skips elegantly past Lodi and gets all the way into the six-yard box before losing his footing, allowing McKenna to clear it behind! The resulting corner amounts to nothing.
Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest
City - as you'd expect - have dominated the possession in the opening stages. Forest eventually get a chance to knock it around themselves, as Gundogan lashes a 25-yard strike well wide.

The players are emerging from the tunnel and kick off is just seconds away!
Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest
City have been in good form this season, but there are still some issues to correct early in games. They’ve found themselves two goals behind in four of their last six Premier League games, as many as in their previous 84 combined. They are the only side in Premier League history to avoid defeat in four games in a row in which they found themselves two plus goals behind.
