Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Etihad Stadium
Follow live coverage as Manchester City face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Erling Haaland has started the campaign in outrageous form after signing from Borussia Dortmund and newly promoted Forest will be hard-pressed to stop him from adding to his tally tonight.
Forest themselves have made 18 transfers on the incoming side to entirely restructure the squad and give themselves the best chance of survival, but this will be about the most difficult fixture they face all season long.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

City and Haaland demolish Forest in the first half. The hosts have dominated this game throughout and it's been an eye-opening half for the newly promoted visitors. City took the lead early on when Haaland poked in Foden's cross. And although Lodi went close for Forest, they were still under serious pressure. Haaland made it two with a tap-in, before converting Stones' headed cross to make it 3-0 and back-to-back hattricks at half-time.
