Nottingham Forest to host Manchester City at the City Ground on November 7 in Premier League matchweek 10

Nottingham Forest will host Manchester City at the City Ground on November 7 in a Premier League 2026-27 matchweek 10 fixture. The meeting pits a struggling Forest side against a City team seeking to halt a two-match league losing run.

Nottingham Forest have lost four of their last five matches and are in the relegation zone after a 0-2 defeat by Brentford in their previous league outing. Oliver Glasner’s squad have struggled to create in the final third and the club is under pressure to change strategy despite playing at home. The Tricky Trees’ poor run has left them needing improved results to climb the table.

Manchester City arrive having lost consecutive Premier League games, falling 1-2 to Aston Villa and 0-1 to Brighton, and are currently placed second on the points table. Enzo Maresca is in charge of the visitors and the team will be looking to return to winning ways to maintain their title challenge. The manager’s side travel with the expectation of using squad depth to regain form.

Erling Haaland leads Manchester City’s attacking line and has scored nine goals in nine Premier League appearances this season. He is set to spearhead City’s offense in the City Ground fixture and will be relied on to produce scoring chances. The match presents another opportunity for Haaland to add to his tally.

Dan Ndoye is expected to be a focal point for Nottingham Forest; the 26-year-old Swissman has scored two Premier League goals this season and can play as an attacking midfielder or a winger. Forest will look to Ndoye to step up his contributions if they are to trouble City’s defence. His versatility offers Glasner tactical options for the match.

Nottingham Forest will be without Nicolo Savona, Nicolas Dominguez and Igor Jesus due to injury, while Antoine Semenyo will sit out for Manchester City with a leg injury. Nottingham Forest are likely to field: Sels (GK); Cunha, Milenkovic, Murillo; Aina, McAtee, Schlager, Williams; Ndoye, Gibbs-White; Delap. Manchester City’s expected lineup is: Donnarumma (GK); Nunes, Guehi, Dias, Gvardiol; Fernandez, Anderson; Ndiaye, Foden, Doku; Haaland.

Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-3 Manchester City. The fixture will be broadcast in India on JioHotstar and the Star Sports Network.
