Manchester City are setting a lethal pattern in 2022/23 as they prepare to welcome top flight new boys Nottingham Forest to the Etihad on the Premier League TV schedule.
The reigning champions have fallen behind by a two-goal margin to Newcastle and Crystal Palace in their last two outings before equalising against the former and sticking four past the latter to win in style.
Of course, Pep Guardiola won’t be pleased about his team conceding the lead in the first place, but the resilience shown to fight back into games will delight him.
Nottingham Forest and their army of 19 new summer signings will march to the Etihad hoping to upset the massive, long odds.
Boss Steve Cooper won’t be too disappointed with Forest’s start to the new campaign with a mixed bag of results under their belt, he will just hope to put on a respectable show this evening.

Our prediction: Man City v Nottingham Forest
Damage limitation may be the order of the day for Forest. Cooper’s hastily-assembled men need to be cohesive from the first minute here if they are to succeed in any shape or form. Erling Haaland is a doubt to start as Guardiola seeks to manage his minutes, but that won’t stop City from turning up the heat if required.
Our prediction: Man City 2-0 Nottingham Forest (15/2 at bet365)
