It's third against fourth in the Premier League on Saturday!

We’re at the City Ground for a 12:30 (UK) kick-off in a crunch match with Nuno Espirito Santo’s Champions League chasing side.

Forest have been something of surprise package and remain well placed for European football next season for the first time since 1995/96.

Ahead of this weekend’s game, we reflect on some classic Nottingham Forest and City meetings through the years.

We start with Rob Taylor’s mesmeric dribble and finish in 2000 and then go to Michel Vonk’s thunderous slide tackle in 1993.

After that, we flash forward to our last two visits - with Bernardo Silva’s brilliant strike in 2023 up first before Erling Haaland’s goal was the key moment in Pep’s 300th Premier League game last term.

Finally, we go to Shaun Goater’s opportunistic finish while wearing one of the standout City kits of the modern era.

There’s plenty to whet the appetite before Saturday!
