Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 108

Nottingham Forest wins: 34

Draws: 28

Manchester City wins: 46

The first meeting between the clubs took place just a few days before the start of the 20th century, with Nottingham Forest earning a 2-0 victory in a Division One fixture in 1899. Since then, there have been 107 more matches between the clubs.

City currently lead the way with 46 victories compared to 34 wins for Forest, and another 28 encounters that ended without a winner.

The most recent meeting took place at the City Ground in the Premier League, with Man City recording a 2-1 victory in December 2025.

Pep Guardiola's men have mostly dominated this fixture since Forest returned to the promised land of the Premier League in 2022, taking 16 points from their last seven league battles.

One of the most notable meetings in recent times took place in August 2022 when Erling Haaland bagged a 38-minute hat-trick during a 6-0 City demolition.

Speaking of the Norwegian striker, he is already the joint second-highest scorer in matches between Man City and Nottingham Forest with five goals to his name - the forward needs one more goal to equal record holder Niall Quinn.
