Manchester City and Nottingham Forest face each other in a David-vs-Goliath clash at Etihad Stadium on day 5 of the new Premier League campaign.
The Citizens came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 4-2 at the weekend, with summer signing Erling Haaland scoring a hat-trick.
The Norway international has already started paying off, and, no doubt, he will prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Defensive duo Aymeric Laporte – Nathan Ake remains in the recovery room, while midfielder Jack Grealish is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Reds, on the other hand, failed to shock Spurs at the weekend, and they face yet another uphill task in the midweek clash.
As previously mentioned, David faces Goliath at Etihad Stadium, meaning that anything but a routine win would be a major surprise. Both Niakhate and Richards are sidelined with injuries for the away side.
This match will be played on 31/08/2022 at 19:30
Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals.
