REF’s picks

Manchester City have endured a bumpy run lately, but a trip to the side sitting 19th in the table presents an ideal spot to get back on track. Nottingham Forest are missing key players like Igor Jesus and lacking form, making the away win at 1.78 a solid entry.

1. 1City possess superior quality across the pitch despite recent inconsistent results.
2. 2Nottingham Forest are deep in a relegation battle and missing important personnel.
3. 3Erling Haaland's goalscoring threat always gives the visitors a high ceiling.
