Can Man City Reach Another Domestic Final?

Nottingham Forest have been the surprise package in the Premier League this season. With just a handful of games to go, the Reds are edging closer to securing UEFA Champions League football.

Forest’s run to the last four of the FA Cup has been thrilling. After easing past Luton Town in the third round, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men needed penalties to see off Exeter City, Ipswich Town, and Brighton & Hove Albion.

Man City have not been at their blistering best this season, but Guardiola’s troops have slowly but surely turned a corner. After the midweek win over top-five rivals Aston Villa, the Citizens shot up to third.

On their way to the last four of the cup, Man City have seen off Salford City, Leyton Orient, Plymouth Argyle, and Bournemouth. Guardiola has won the FA Cup twice, with the last triumph coming in 2023.

Recent Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Head-to-Head Results

In December, Man City beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League, with Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, and Jeremy Doku on target. However, Forest got revenge in the reverse match at the City Ground last month, with Callum Hudson-Odoi netting the only goal.

This will be the first FA Cup meeting since January 2009. Despite being an EFL Championship team at the time, Nottingham Forest picked up a stunning 3-0 victory at the Etihad.
