Manchester City face Nottingham Forest at the Etihad on Wednesday, with Pep Guardiola's side looking to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
As we've seen so often over the last few seasons, City produced another spirited comeback last weekend, this time coming from two goals down to defeat Crystal Palace 4-2. Erling Haaland netted his first City hat-trick against the Eagles, helping Guardiola keep up his unbeaten start to the campaign.
Currently second in the table, City are only behind Arsenal in the league, with Mikel Arteta's side having won four from four. The last meeting between City and Nottingham Forest came in 2009 - a 3-0 loss for City in the FA Cup.

Nathan Ake, Kalvin Phillips and Aymeric Laporte are all set to miss the clash with Forest on Wednesday. Jack Grealish is a doubt, and with the game coming just four days after their last, Guardiola is expected to rotate, with Julian Alvarez tipped to make his first start.
So, how could City line up? We simulated the clash to find out.
To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 22 and updated the squads with the latest transfers. Due to FIFA 22 not having the latest kits, both sides lined up in last season's strips.
We predict that City could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Cancelo; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Alvarez, Haaland, Foden.
We predict that Forest could set up in a 3-4-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Henderson; McKenna, Cook, Worrall; Williams, Freuler, Yates, Toffolo; Johnson, Lingard, Gibbs-White.
Interestingly, Forest started the game as the better side as City struggled to find
