Paul Tierney appointed as referee for Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest

After a staggering second-half comeback against Crystal Palace on the weekend, the Blues host newly promoted side Nottingham Forest in a midweek clash – Paul Tierney has been appointed as referee. The game kicks off at 19:30 BST and will be broadcasted live on BT Sport.

Tierney has officiated 22 games involving City throughout his career thus far; the Blues have won 19 of those 22 and only lost twice. A reasonably strong record that Pep Guardiola and his players will be hoping to build upon this Wednesday.
