Man City cannot afford Nottingham Forest slip after taking giant Premier League title stride

Manchester City visit Nottingham Forest this weekend aiming to consolidate their position at the top of the Premier League table.

But Pep Guardiola's side will need to be wary of their opponents, who have recorded three wins from their last five league games. It is far from the same Forest side which was dismantled 6-0 at the end of August, almost literally.

Since the start of the summer window Forest have signed 30 players, so predicting their line-up for Saturday afternoon is challenging, but their recent form shows they can pose questions. Manager Steve Cooper has started to build momentum, something he achieved last season when he took the club from bottom of the league eight games in, to promotion. Cooper signed a contract extension in October and Forest are now 14th in the table. Now, the Manchester Evening News has taken a look at how City can ensure they claim all three points.
