Form

Forest lost 2-0 at Brentford, their fourth defeat in five league games, and have 6 points from 9. City (21 points) lost 2-1 at Aston Villa and 1-0 at home to Brighton.

Context

Reports suggest Oliver Glasner could be sacked if Forest lose this game. City play RB Leipzig away in the Champions League on Wednesday, three days earlier.

What's at stake

Forest are fighting relegation and a manager's future; City need to stop a two-game losing run in the title race with Arsenal.

Betting market

No reliable current odds found; previews treat City as clear away favourites, consistent with the model.

From the model to the call

Model 1.02-1.64 moved to 1.02-1.60: -0.04 City for the midweek trip to Leipzig and Semenyo's absence.
