Manchester City return to the Etihad Stadium looking to continue their relentless pursuit of the leaders, having won their last 4 matches.
The title-chasers have made their home a fortress, remaining undefeated in their last 13 home matches and winning the last three. Their offensive output at home is the best in the league, with 34 home goals scored.
A 1-0 victory at Leeds in their last match showed they can also get gritty wins when required, but at home, they usually dominate from the whistle, as evidenced by their league-leading first-half performance.
They will likely look to exploit a visiting defense that has struggled away from home, and they may anticipate plenty of possession to breakdown what could be a deep-lying opponent.
Nottingham Forest face the daunting task of visiting the Etihad while on a 5-match winless streak. Their scoring struggles are a major concern, having scored in only 54% of their matches this season.
However, their away form has a curious positive note: they have scored in each of their last 5 away matches. They also tend to strike early, with 23% of their goals coming in the first 15 minutes, which could represent a hope of unsettling the hosts.
Defensively, they have actually been solid recently, conceding only 8 goals in the last 8 matches, but maintaining that level against City's league-best home attack will be an enormous challenge.
Following a 2-1 loss to Brighton, the visitors sit precariously above the drop zone, and with only a 25% rate of scoring the first goal, they will need to watch out for sustained, immediate pressure from a City side that has scored the opening goal in 22 of 28 matches.

Total Goals: on this table, Total Goals refers to the total number of goals scored in a match (goals scored by the home team + goals scored by the visiting team)
Note: in the table above, to allow for averaging duration values based on a total of 90 minutes per game, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are all considered to be scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are also considered scored on the 90th minute.
(2) (Equalizer goals scored / Goals giving lead to opponent) * 100
Non-crucial goals scored: goals scored that increased an existing lead, or decreased the opponent's existing lead.
Non-crucial goals conceded: goals conceded that decreased an existing lead, or increased the opponent's existing lead.
Note regarding the Goals giving the lead and the Goals giving lead to opponent values: both the team and the opponent team might take the lead more than once during a single match,
so the total number of goals giving the lead to a team might be higher than the number of matches played by the team.
For more info on how many times each team has taken the lead per match, how many times per match their opponents have taken the lead, or how many time each team has scored the first goal
