Nottingham Forest vs Man City Prediction 

  • After back-to-back victories, Nottingham Forest returned to winning ways at Tottenham on Monday night as goals from Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood saw Nuno's side claim a 2-1 win in the capital. 
  • Forest did win the last meeting between these two having lost four of the previous five encounters between the pair. 
  • Pep Guardiola's side look back to their best having made it five wins from their last six in midweek, though they needed a late Matheus Nunes strike to wrap up the three points against Aston Villa. 
  • City have conceded in their last three FA Cup outings on their way to Wembley. 
  • Two of City's four FA Cup wins have been by a 2-1 scoreline, and the same may happen on Sunday afternoon. 

Score Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Man City
