Manchester City will hope to put an end to their recent horror run as they look to avoid dropping below opponents Nottingham Forest.

The Premier League champions are without a win in seven games with defeat at Liverpool on Sunday seemingly ending their title challenge.

Pep Guardiola’s side will slip further down the table if they lose a fifth successive league fixture with Forest eyeing another significant result to continue their excellent season so far.

A narrow win against Ipswich kept their chase for a European place on track with Chris Wood scoring his ninth goal of the season from the penalty spot.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news

Rodri, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic and Oscar Bobb remain absent for Manchester City, though Jeremy Doku was fit to feature off the bench against Liverpool. Pep Guardiola boldly dropped Ederson and Josko Gvardiol for that game at Anfield and another selection shake-up feels likely.

Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White overcame injury to be involved against Ipswich for Nottingham Forest, leaving Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare on the treatment table.

Predicted line-ups

Manchester City XI: Ortega; Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Lewis; Silva, De Bruyne, Nunes, Grealish; Haaland.

Nottingham Forest XI: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Dominguez; Silva, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood.

Manchester City win 7/19

Draw 9/2

Nottingham Forest win 17/2
