Manchester City are scheduled to host newly-promoted side Nottingham Forest in their fifth Premier League fixture of the new season.

City have been in scintillating shape this term as they push to retain the crown at the end of the season.

Pep Guardiola's charges are yet to suffer defeat in their last four outings, picking 10 points from a possible 12 in the process.

The reigning English champions will therefore be seeking to record back-to-back wins when they host Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium.
