Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City preview
Two teams battling it out for a chance at an FA Cup final and two sides with memorable campaigns.
For Nottingham Forest, a chance at a Wembley final and qualification to the Champions League would be beyond their wildest dreams. For City, it's memorable for all the wrong reasons.
Incredibly, just one place and one single point separate these two sides in the Premier League, with both embroiled in a chase for the Champions League with a couple of other sides.
That's the main aim for both sides but they must also be all-in on this chance to win silverware – the only opportunity for either side to clinch a trophy this season.
Back-to-back defeats to Aston Villa and Everton looked to be damaging for Forest's Euro hunt but a convincing win at Spurs on Monday night very much keeps them alive.
For City – above Forest by a point having played a game more – they've recaptured their form, ironically since Erling Haaland's injury.
Five wins and a draw in their last six games – including a huge league win in midweek over fellow UCL chasers Villa – show City are in fine fettle heading into the closing stages of the season.
As per usual…
Only this time there is no late run for title glory, instead a top-four push and this solitary trophy.
Forest won the last meeting between the sides in March, thanks to a late Callum Hudson-Odoi goal.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City predictions
Yellow warning
Neco Williams playing as a full back against these Manchester City wingers will almost certainly know he's in a game.
He's only picked up five yellow cards in the Premier League but was also booked in the previous round of this competition.
It's also actually two yellows in his last five games and he can play on the edge at times.
- Neco Williams to be carded at 13/8 with Betfred – CLAIM HERE
Stalemate
Forest's 39 goals conceded is only bettered by Liverpool and Arsenal, and they have the lowest goals scored in any of the top seven sides.
Matz Sels has the most clean sheets in the Premier League and he and his Forest defence will want to keep things tight here.
