Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
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
Forest have really struggled to find any sort of rhythm in this match so far, with Johnson very isolated in the final third of the pitch. The hosts will need to be braver on the ball if they want to get even a point from this game.

The first half was quiet for the most part as Man City dictated the game, while Forest were forced to sit deep in their own half due to the visitors' dominance. Rodri and Grealish had good chances to open the scoring but could not prevail against the Forest defenders. Silva then produced a moment of brilliance in the 41st minute as his thunderous strike from 20 yards out left Navas helpless as the Blues go into the break with a 1-0 lead.
