Manchester City will play their second home game in the space of four days when Nottingham Forest visit the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening, but they will need to be alert to ensure a familiar foe does not come back to bite them.
City have started the season in strong fashion, winning three of their four games and scoring 13 goals in the process. However, in their last two outings they have fallen two goals behind before fighting back, earning a 3-3 draw at Newcastle and a 4-2 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
In theory, Forest should not provide as stiff opposition as Newcastle and Palace did. The newly promoted side have taken a respectable four points from their opening four games, but as Bournemouth learned two weeks ago, City show newly promoted teams no mercy when they visit the Etihad.
