Follow all the action from The City Ground
Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Manchester City made one change for their visit to Nottingham Forest. Phil Foden came in for Riyad Mahrez in the only alteration from the side that started Wednesday’s 3-1 win at Arsenal.
Forest lost their appeal to the Premier League to add Steve Cook to their 25-man squad following a spate of defensive injuries, which leaves Joe Worrall and Felipe as their only fit central defenders. Felipe and Jonjo Shelvey made their full and home debuts.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
De Bruyne has created 72 chances this season, more than any other player in the Premier League. He is already proving to be a big threat to the hosts in this match.

De Bruyne plays a good pass to Foden on the right side of the box. Foden dwells on the ball for too long and four Forest players smother him before winning the ball.

Foden sends in another cross from the left side but again struggles to find a team-mate in the box. Haaland is not getting a lot of service at the moment.

De Bruyne finds himself in a bit of space just outside the box. He tries to catch Navas out at the near post but drags his effort wide to the enjoyment of the home fans.

Johnson finds himself isolated in the opposition half again and goes for goal with a very difficult strike. The ball goes closer to the corner flag than Ederson's goal as team-mate Gibbs-White tells him to slow down.

Foden once again is too quick and agile for Lodi as he drives to the byline before trying to find Haaland with a pass, which gets cut out.

Grealish's deflected cross almost falls into the path of Gundogan, but the Forest defenders do well to cut the pass out and get the danger away from their goal.

Foden skips past Lodi on the right flank before sliding De Bruyne into the box. The midfielder cuts the ball back toward the penalty spot, just too far for Grealish to latch onto.
