The Premier League has announced that Anthony Taylor will oversee Manchester City’s game against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
With the chance to extend the Premier League winning streak to six games following last Saturday’s comeback victory over West Ham United, Manchester City will look to continue their winning start to the season this weekend.
With a 3-1 victory at the London Stadium and goals from Jeremy Doku, Bernardo Silva, and Erling Haaland in the second half, Pep Guardiola’s team regained first place in the standings.
Last season, Nottingham Forest lost 6-0 at the Etihad Stadium but managed to surprise everyone by drawing 1-1 in February at the City Ground after Chris Wood equalized Bernardo Silva’s opening goal.
Prior to the international break, Steve Cooper’s team defeated Chelsea, and after a 1-1 draw with Burnley on Monday night, they are currently ranked in the top half of the Premier League standings.
