Pre-match talking points

Nottingham Forest do not hold a clear overall edge, although their defence figure of 50% keeps them competitive.

Manchester City stand out most in recent form, where the comparison reads 90% to 10%. That may be the area they try to lean on.

The defence comparison is close, which is another reason this may be tighter than the team names alone suggest.

FCM66 editorial outlook

The current result split is 10% home, 45% draw and 45% away. That gives Manchester City or draw the safer lean, although a level finish remains the first result to respect.

Our view is based on the information available at publication time. Confirmed line-ups and late match updates can still alter the balance, so the official teams should be checked before kick-off.
