Pep Guardiola‘s men welcome the Premier League new boys to the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday 31 August, with kick-off scheduled for 19:30 (UK).
City enter the tie hoping to extend our unbeaten start to the new campaign, and could move top of the table with victory should other results fall in our favour.
However, Steve Cooper’s side have enjoyed a solid start to life back in the top flight, picking up four points from their first four matches.
With 18 new faces through the door this summer, most recently Atletico Madrid defender Renan Lodi, Forest have shown plenty of ambition ahead of their first Premier League season since 1999.
Everything points towards an exciting encounter at the Etihad, and the City squad rounded off preparations with one final session at the CFA this afternoon ahead of the action.
