Manchester City and Nottingham Forest are to come face to face once again at the Etihad Stadium in the 2023/24 Premier League season. Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to secure a fourth consecutive title, whereas Steve Cooper and Nottingham Forest will look to climb the table and avoid relegation more comfortably come the end of this season.

After winning more than 20 major trophies across his spells with two giants of European football – FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich – Pep Guardiola was appointed as Manuel Pellegrini’s successor at the Etihad Stadium in February 2016. Arguably the Spaniard’s crowning achievement so far at City is winning the UEFA Champions League against Inter Milan in June 2023.

Guardiola has won a plethora of other major trophies whilst in charge of the Cityzens: 5 Premier League titles (2017/18, 2018/19, 2020/21, 2021/22 & 2022/23), 2 FA Cups (2018/19 & 2022/23), 4 EFL Cups (2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20 & 2020/21) and 2 Community Shields (2018 & 2019).

Manchester City were a dominant force in the Premier League once again last season (2022/23), winning their third Premier League title after a lengthy and tense battle with Arsenal. City ended up accumulating 89 points, sitting 5 clear of the Gunners following the final day of the season. Guardiola’s side were ruthless in front goal, scoring the most of any team – 94. Arsenal had the second most with 88.

City, together with Newcastle United, had the joint best defence in the Premier League, only conceding 33 times in 38 matches.

Erling Haaland led the way for Manchester City and the Premier League last season, scoring 36 goals in his debut season in England, giving him the golden boot. Phil Foden came second in City’s goal scoring charts with 11 goals. Julián Álvarez and Ilkay Gündogan got 9 and 8 goals respectively.

On 21^st September 2021, with Nottingham Forest bottom of the EFL Championship table, Steve Cooper was appointed as Reds boss, becoming Chris Hughton’s permanent successor at the City Ground. By the end of the 2021/22 season, Forest had beaten Huddersfield Town 1-0 in the Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley to finally return to the Premier League after more than 20 years away.

In the 2022/23 Premier League season, Steve Cooper led Nottingham Forest to a 16^th place finish with 38 points – 4 clear of the bottom three. Summer signing Taiwo Awoniyi was the top goal scorer for the club in the league with 10 goals to his name, and he was closely followed by Brennan Johnson who scored 8 goals. Morgan Gibbs-White and Danilo also got 5 and 3 goals respectively.

Manchester City and Nottingham Forest played against each other in the league for the very first time on 27^th December 1899. Overall, the two clubs have met on 102 occasions as of the time of writing. It is the Cityzens with the most wins with 41 as opposed to Forest’s 33. There have been 33 draws between them to date.

The most recent match that was played between these two teams came on 18^th February 2023 at the City Ground where the two teams played out a 1-1 draw. Bernardo Silva (41’) and Chris Wood (84’) scored for their respective clubs.
