Nottingham Forest and Manchester City Face Off in Key Premier League Top-Four Battle

The third- and fourth-placed teams meet Saturday with Champions League qualification on the line as the race tightens.

Nottingham Forest, currently third in the Premier League, host fourth-placed Manchester City, with only one point separating the teams in the standings.
The match has significant implications for securing a top-four finish and automatic qualification for next season's Champions League, with only six points separating third and tenth place in the league.
Forest's strong season under Nuno Espirito Santo has been tempered by recent struggles, including just one win in their last five league matches, but they remain competitive with Chris Wood scoring a career-best 18 goals.
Manchester City, despite a disappointing season by their standards, are aiming to finish strongly in the league and FA Cup, with Erling Haaland contributing 20 league goals so far.
City face injury challenges, with Nathan Ake ruled out for 11 weeks, joining John Stones, Manuel Akanji, and Rodri on the sidelines, while Forest report no new injury concerns.
