Actions on the turf resume in the English Premier League (EPL) as leaders Manchester City host Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium.

Etihad returns after trashing Crvena zvezda 3-1 in the opening Group G of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday and no doubt, the Citizens will take that wining mentality as they face Forest this afternoon.

City are yet to concede to defeat after five EPL matches this season, their previous saw the Pep Guardiola boys hammered West Ham 3-1.

No doubt, they won’t leave any stones unturned despite the informed Forest who drew 1-1 Vincent Kompany’s Burnley last weekend.

Forest had a great game against Chelsea the week before the last with a lone goal but the situation will be complex for Forest who will be squaring up against the almighty Erling Haaland on front.
