Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City prediction 07.11.2026 | Premier League

After four seasons in the Premier League, Nottingham Forest are in danger of relegation. It is still too early in the 2026/27 campaign, but only six points in nine rounds are worrying. Nottingham Forest are the worst attacking team in the competition, with only six goals, and the club will undoubtedly be eager for the January transfer window to strengthen their attacking options. Oliver Glasner's team were terrible lately, with only one point in the last five matches. In the previous game, they lost 2-0 on the road against Brentford. The visitors were solid and probably deserved more, but their terrible offense cost them again.

Nottingham Forest's manager, Oliver Glasner, announced defeats after a defeat in the previous round. He commented, "We have to accept it's not good enough. That's why, for me, it's time to change things. I feel I could see a few things from day No 1. I feel now that maybe I made too many compromises in some stuff."

Nottingham Forest doesn't have significant injury problems. The only ones unavailable should be Nicolo Savona and Igor Jesus. The good news is that Nicolas Dominguez is close to returning and could be an option for Saturday.

Although Manchester City's future is uncertain with possible punishment, they are still one of the best Premier League teams. After nine rounds, they sit second in the standings, three points behind Arsenal. Manchester City had some unexpected defeats lately, but they still won four of the last six matches. On Wednesday, Maresca's team won 3-2 on the road in the Champions League against RB Leipzig. The hosts fought bravely, but the visitors were simply too good, and they eventually picked up a valuable victory.

Enzo Maresca was pleased with his team's performance in Leipzig. He added, "In the first half, we were good, but also in the second half we created so many chances. But we conceded two silly goals that we need to avoid, but slowly, slowly we are going to be better, also defensively."

Antoine Semenyo should be the only one out for Manchester City on Saturday evening.
