It hasn’t been the perfect start for the Champions. Over the years they have created lofty standards for themselves. On top of it in the previous two games, they had to come from behind to secure points. This is. something that will worry Guardiola ahead of the game.
On the other hand, it has been good for Forest. They only joined the league this year. They managed to get a victory over West Ham while Tottenham Hotspur could only manage two goals against them. Steve Cooper will be hopeful that his side does not open the floodgates against the Champions.
Forest will be looking to attack through set pieces. However, City must have worked over the week on defending set pieces. The home side will also look to move the ball around quickly in the early parts of the game. This way they will try to get an early lead and crush the spirit of the away side.
