Nottingham Forest’s home scoring record and Manchester City’s away production frame the key pre-match question, with the provisional table adding clear context for both teams.
Before kickoff
Can Forest’s home attack trouble City?
That is the clearest question before Saturday’s Premier League match at the City Ground. Nottingham Forest have scored 0 goals in their home games this league season, while Manchester City have scored 9 in their away games. The match kicks off at 17:30 UTC on November 7, 2026.
A sharp contrast in the provisional table
Forest are provisionally ranked #19 with 6 points from 9 games, including 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses. City are provisionally ranked #2 with 21 points from 9 games, leaving them 15 points ahead of Forest. Arsenal lead the league with 24 points, so City are 3 points from the top while Forest trail the leaders by 18 points.
The recent nine-match samples reinforce the difference. Forest’s most recent-first sequence contains 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses. City’s contains 7 wins and 2 losses, although both defeats came in their latest two listed matches.
Where the goal threat sits
City’s away record is 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss, with 2 clean sheets. Forest’s home record is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, with 1 clean sheet. E. Haaland has scored 9 goals in 9 league appearances, while R. Cherki has 4 goals and 2 assists in 8 appearances.
At kickoff, can Forest’s defence contain Haaland’s league output while finding a way past City’s away resistance?
