Forest Set To Stay Within Reach Of City

Nottingham Forest have collected just six points from nine games and sit 19th in the table. Their last five matches brought four defeats and one draw. Manchester City hold second place yet managed only two wins in their last five league outings. Forest have restricted opponents to 0.8 goals per game at the City Ground this season. City average 2.3 goals away from home but have also conceded 0.8 on their travels. Only four of the last nine head to head meetings produced more than two goals in total. The contest could stay within a narrow margin if Forest maintain their compact shape at home.
