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

Man City picked up a vital win against Arsenal during the week to give them a huge boost in the title race. A win today will take them back to the top of the Premier League on goal difference and Pep Guardiola’s team have only lost twice since the World Cup break. Erling Haaland also scored for the first time in four games on Wednesday as the striker hopes to add to his 26 league goals.
