On November 7, 2026, Nottingham Forest are due to host Manchester City at the City Ground in the 10th matchweek of the English Premier League 2026-27, with pre-match updates and confirmed starting lineups released ahead of the fixture.

Nottingham Forest arrive on the back of a 0-2 defeat to Brentford in their previous league outing and have lost four of their last five matches, leaving them in the relegation zone early in the season under manager Oliver Glasner. The team have struggled to produce in the final third, a shortcoming the club will need to address if they are to avoid further slide despite playing at home. Forest’s current run has piled pressure on Glasner’s side as they prepare for this matchweek test.

Forward Dan Ndoye is singled out as a player Forest will rely on to improve the side’s attacking returns; he has scored two goals in the Premier League this season, is described as a 26-year-old Swissman, and can be used either as an attacking midfielder or as a winger. Ndoye will be expected to try to lift his contributions as Nottingham Forest seek any avenue to compete against Manchester City on the day.

Manchester City arrive having dropped consecutive Premier League games, losing 1-2 to Aston Villa and then 0-1 to Brighton, and occupy second place on the points table. The Enzo Maresca-led side will be intent on ending their two-match losing run to protect their position near the top of the league. Although City are the away team, the report notes their squad quality gives them an advantage going into the fixture.

Erling Haaland, described as the Norwegian forward leading Manchester City’s attack, has netted nine goals in nine Premier League appearances this season and is set to spearhead City’s offensive efforts. The forward’s scoring form is highlighted as a primary threat to Nottingham Forest’s defence and he is expected to lead the line for City in this match.

The City Ground is set to host what the report terms an entertaining outing between a Forest side fighting for points and a City team aiming to return to winning ways and sustain their title charge.
