Nottingham Forest welcome Manchester City at the City Ground this evening with both sides desperate for three points ahead of the November international break.
Oliver Glasner’s side have endured a difficult start to the Premier League season, winning just one of their first nine games to leave them 19th in the table.
Forest have not won any of their last five league games and suffered another setback last weekend, losing away to Brentford.
Meanwhile, Manchester City arrive in Nottingham looking to revive their title challenge after back-to-back Premier League defeats.
Enzo Maresca’s side won their opening seven league games but have since lost to Aston Villa and Brighton, allowing Arsenal to move at the top of the table.
City returned to winning ways in Europe on Wednesday, beating RB Leipzig 3-2 in the Champions League to strengthen their position in the league stage.
