Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City: Preview
Oliver Glasner admitted this week that he has “failed” as Nottingham Forest manager so far, with his side second-bottom of the Premier League and on a five-match winless run.
The Austrian head coach has fronted up since last Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Brentford and he will hope it sparks a reaction from his players in this Saturday-evening clash with Manchester City.
If Forest get a result, they will go into the international break with renewed belief that they can get out of trouble, but another loss would only increase the pressure on Glasner.
Striker Igor Jesus could return from injury, but this game comes too soon for Nicolo Savona as he works his way back to fitness. Meanwhile, Nicolas Dominguez will be sidelined for the foreseeable future.

City were made to work hard for their 3-2 victory over RB Leipzig in the Champions League in midweek, with Enzo Maresca’s side twice pegged back before Erling Haaland scored the winner 12 minutes from time.
They will need to be similarly resilient against Forest as they look to bounce back from consecutive league defeats against Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion, which followed seven successive wins to start the season.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is under the microscope after making several errors that led to goals, but the Italian is expected to retain the No.1 shirt. Elliot Anderson is also set to return to the City Ground for the first time since his £116m move from Forest in July.
Elsewhere, Maresca has revealed that left-back Nico O’Reilly is “not 100 per cent” so could be a fitness doubt.
