"Manchester City will look to keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal when they host relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest on Wednesday. City start five points behind the Gunners with a game in hand and know they cannot afford a slip-up against a Forest side fighting for their lives."
"The arrival of Vitor Pereira as Forest's fourth head coach of the season has had mixed results, reaching the Europa League last 16 with a two-legged win over Fenerbahce but losing both league games under the Portuguese. The visitors are two points above the drop zone and taking anything away from the Etihad Stadium would be viewed as a bonus."
"Under Pep Guardiola, City have won 24 of their 26 Premier League games on a Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium (D2), averaging 2.85 points-per-game - the best of any side under a manager at home on a specific day of the week in the competition's history among teams to have played at least 10 such games."
Manchester City face Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening with the hosts five points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal but holding a game in hand. Forest arrive in a precarious position, sitting just two points above the relegation zone under new manager Vitor Pereira, whose tenure has produced mixed results including a Europa League last-16 qualification but two consecutive league defeats. City have dominated this fixture historically, winning four of their last five Premier League meetings. The hosts maintain an exceptional home record, winning 16 of their last 19 Premier League matches at the Etihad. City's recent form shows a tendency toward narrow victories, with 39% of their league wins this season coming by a single goal.
