Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from The City Ground
Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Manchester City in the Premier League today.
Manchester City made one change for their visit to Nottingham Forest. Phil Foden came in for Riyad Mahrez in the only alteration from the side that started Wednesday’s 3-1 win at Arsenal.
Forest lost their appeal to the Premier League to add Steve Cook to their 25-man squad following a spate of defensive injuries, which leaves Joe Worrall and Felipe as their only fit central defenders. Felipe and Jonjo Shelvey made their full and home debuts.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
