Nottingham Forest played well against Manchester City but left regretting Chris Wood's missed chances and another goal conceded from a corner as they lost 2-0. So should Forest take the positives in defeat against a top side or is it the case that results matter and nothing else at this stage of the season. Matt Davies is joined by Michael Temple and former Reds defender Kelvin Wilson.

1Nottingham Forest look to have a near impossible task as they welcome Manchester City to the City Ground on Sunday. However, they did draw with Pep Guardiola's team last season and will be hoping to cause another shock this time.
Ahead of the game, we spoke with Simon Bajkowski, Man City writer for the Manchester Evening News to discuss what chance Forest have against a team pushing for the title again. #NFFC

Nottingham Forest face arguably their most difficult game of the season when they host Manchester City at the City Ground on Sunday. With Forest barely above the Premier League relegation zone, any kind of positive result would be massive for Nuno's team.
Can they do it? Who should start? How should Forest approach the game? We'll discuss all that with Matt Davies, Greg Mitchell and Emily Anderson.

Nottingham Forest blew a huge chance to boost their Premier League survival hopes as they lost 2-0 to Everton on a day when they were nowhere near good enough. They should have had three penalties as VAR Stuart Attwell said no each time, prompting Forest's official X (Twitter) account to complain that he is a Luton fan who should not have had the job. Matt Davies, Mark Sutherns and Mikey Clarke discuss all that as Forest hover just above the relegation zone. #nffc

We're joined by Ped from Toffee TV to give us the lowdown on Everton ahead of facing Nottingham Forest on Sunday. We discuss their strengths and weaknesses and it's fair to say he's not impressed with the style of play from Everton or Sean Dyche as, unsurprisingly, an aerial barrage is predicted against the Reds.

Nottingham Forest dropped another two points as they drew 2-2 with Wolves on Saturday thanks to their defensive frailties, conceding from a corner as well as gifting Matheus Cunha space to open the scoring.
On the other hand, they have only lost once in the last five games as they sit one point above the relegation zone with Luton Town still in the fight. Will Forest survive or will their defensive failings see them relegated from the Premier League? Matt Davies is joined by Emily Anderson, Michael Temple and Forest legend Garry Birtles to discuss all that and more. #NFFC
