Manchester City will take on Nottingham Forest up next in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
The Cityzens have maintained a 100 per cent win record this season and have a two-point advantage over second-placed Tottenham in the league standings. Anything less than a win will be a disappointing result for Pep Guardiola's team.
The visitors have not had a great start to the season. They have only managed to win two out of their six games across all competitions. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 draw with Burnley with Callum Hudson-Odoi scoring the equaliser.
