Man City v Nottingham Forest
January brings a fascinating Premier League contest to the Etihad as Manchester City welcome Nottingham Forest on Saturday 16 January 2027. City have won two of the last four league meetings between the clubs, but Forest have made this a much more competitive matchup than it was when they first returned to the Premier League. During that four-match run, Forest recorded a 1-0 home victory over City in March 2025 before earning a 2-2 draw at the Etihad in the most recent meeting between the sides.
That latest Etihad encounter showed why Forest cannot be treated as routine opposition. City completed 714 accurate passes, created 17 chances and forced Forest to make 27 clearances, yet the visitors remained dangerous and twice recovered from falling behind to secure a point. City did win 2-1 at the City Ground earlier in the 2025/26 season, but Forest also defeated them in the league the previous March, meaning they have taken four points from their last four league meetings. With Forest becoming increasingly confident in this fixture and City looking to turn their territorial dominance into a more convincing result, this could develop into another closely fought contest.
The following day we head back to the ground, where you can Immerse yourself in the City story on the Manchester City Stadium Tour and visit areas of the Stadium not usually available to the public.
