PREVIOUS MEETING

Erling Haaland scored his second successive Etihad Stadium hat-trick as goal-hungry City thrashed Nottingham Forest 6-0 last August.

The Norwegian phenomenon completed his treble in the space of just 26 minutes, with Joao Cancelo and Julian Alvarez (2) on target after the break.

Our last trip to the City Ground came in October 2001, where we secured a 1-1 draw in our Division 1 clash, with Shaun Goater grabbing the equaliser.

LAST TIME OUT

Kevin de Bruyne scored one and assisted another in a dramatic 3-1 Premier League victory over Arsenal which saw City rise to the top of the table in midweek.

Forest fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Fulham in their last league encounter in London.
