When you've lost many games, I can't keep telling the same story about having a good start, having chances, making mistakes and losing. That's why I needed to change what I am telling. Otherwise, we will always keep going in the same way and nothing will change.Oliver Glasner BBC Sport

Oliver Glasner goes into Saturday Night Football at the City Ground under intense scrutiny after a 2-0 defeat at Brentford left Nottingham Forest 19th in the Premier League. The Austrian used his post-match interviews to demand change, telling Sky Sports that losing four of the last five was "not good enough" and that he would stop making "too many compromises".

In his pre-match conference, Glasner framed the outburst as constructive. "When you've lost many games, I can't keep telling the same story about having a good start, having chances, making mistakes and losing," he told BBC Sport. "That's why I needed to change what I am telling." Training-ground detail, he added, stays private: "This is our Las Vegas. What happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas."

Team news is mixed. Nicolás Domínguez suffered a muscle setback and "will be out for up to eight weeks", Glasner said. Nicolò Savona (knee) remains out but is on track for friendly minutes in the international break. Igor Jesus trained all week with "no reaction" and "looks good". Forest have yet to score a Premier League home goal this season and sit on six points from nine matches.

Manchester City arrive second, a point behind Arsenal, after a 1-0 loss at Brighton was answered by a 3-2 Champions League win over RB Leipzig. Enzo Maresca refused to write Forest off. "I am surprised after watching their games. The table with them is not the real one. They deserve much more," he said on Friday, praising the chances Glasner's side create and the manager's work at Crystal Palace.

Antoine Semenyo (knee) is City's only confirmed absentee, according to The Guardian's weekend team-news round-up. Erling Haaland leads the league with nine goals but has drawn a blank in his last four appearances against Forest. Former City academy products Liam Delap and James McAtee start for the hosts if Glasner sticks with recent selections, while Elliot Anderson returns to the City Ground in City colours.

Kick-off is 17:30 on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League, with Sam Barrott the referee.
