MANCHESTER CITY fought hard to pick off Crystal Palace last weekend – but they’ll be hoping for an easier test against Premier League new boys Nottingham Forest.

And mega summer signing Erling Haaland stole the headlines once again having grabbed his first hattrick in the colours of sky blue.

But the the play-off winners will feel a little dejected going into this match following a recent disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Tottenham Hotspur.
