After leaving Watford, Dyche became the manager of Burnley in October 2012. He guided the club to two promotions to the Premier League, in 2013/14 and 2015/16. During the 2017/18 season, he led Burnley to their first European campaign since 1967, following a seventh-place league finish.

After his dismissal by Burnley in April 2022, Dyche was appointed manager of Everton in January 2023, before joining Nottingham Forest in October 2025.

Pep guardiola PREVIEW

Pep Guardiola looked ahead to this Premier League clash when he met the media on Saturday.

We’ll have a full written and video recap of what he said available on mancity.com and our official app at 13:30 (UK) on Friday 26 December.

Danger men

Morgan Gibbs-White is at the creative heart of Forest’s attack with his vision, dribbling a goalscoring abilities. He currently sits as the Reds’ joint top goal scorer with three.

Elliot Anderson is another outlet in midfield and the highly rated youngster offers key offensive transitions as well as assists and a versatile threat. Which allows him to influence games from deeper roles.

Dan Ndoye is a direct attacking option who was brought in to replace Anthony Elanga. He also offers goals and assists using his trickery and speed on the wide areas of the pitch.

Previous meeting

We last faced the Tricky Trees in the FA Cup in April 2025 as we secured a 2-0 victory at Wembley Stadium.

A 2nd minute opener from Rico Lewis followed by a second half goal from Josko Gvardiol in the semi-final, saw us secure a place against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Final.

Last time out

City briefly moved to the top of the Premier League - before Arsenal recorded a 1-0 win over Everton - after a comfortable 3-0 win over West Ham United.

First-half goals from Erling Haaland and Tijjani Reijnders gave the Blues a comfortable 2-0 lead at the break.

And though the Hammers improved markedly after the restart, Haaland settled the victory with his second of the game midway through the second-half to wrap up a seventh win on the trot.
