Man City to win to nil – landed in three consecutive matches 

Erling Haaland to score 2+ goals – EPL top goalscorer + good trend 

Elliot Anderson to be fouled 2+ times – strong trend this season

Nottingham Forest’s 2025/26 festive fixture comes at home to Manchester City, in the early English Premier League kick-off on Saturday, December 27. 

Manager Sean Dyche’s Forest suffered defeat in their latest Premier League match, after an away trip to Fulham saw them lose 1-0. 

They remain lurking at the bottom of the Premier League table, sitting in 17th place, just five points clear of the relegation zone. 

Forest now welcome high-flying Manchester City, who – despite some potential doubts about manager Pep Guardiola’s future – are looking to strengthen their Premier League title challenge. 

City have won all of their last seven matches, including a UEFA Champions League victory over Real Madrid, and they haven’t conceded a goal in three consecutive matches. 

They make the trip to Nottinghamshire knowing that a win would see them top the Premier League table, should Arsenal falter against Brighton. 

What are the best bets for Nottingham Forest vs Man City?

Man City to win to nil 

City have won all of their last seven matches and haven’t conceded a goal in any of their last three games.

Elliot Anderson to be fouled 2+ times 

The second-most fouled player in the Premier League is Elliot Anderson, having been on the receiving end of a bad tackle 42 times so far this season.
