City's November Schedule: Forest, Fulham, and Arsenal
Manchester City's November fixture list has been confirmed, with the Premier League announcing dates and kick-off times on Monday. The Blues, currently three points clear at the top of the table and the only team with a perfect record heading into the elongated international break, will play three league matches during the month.
First up is a trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday 7 November, with a 5:30pm kick-off at the City Ground. The match will be shown live on Sky Sports. City have won only two of their last six Premier League visits to the City Ground, though they did prevail 2-1 on the banks of the River Trent just after Christmas last season.
Following that clash comes another international break, after which City will welcome Fulham to the Etihad on Saturday 21 November. That fixture remains on its original date but will now kick off at 12:30pm, with TNT Sports broadcasting the game.
The month concludes with a trip to the capital on Sunday 29 November, as City face Arsenal at the Emirates. Kick-off is at 4:30pm, and the match will be live on Sky Sports.
Maresca's team were dismantled 3-0 by Mikel Arteta's side at the Millennium Stadium in August's FA Community Shield, so the trip to north London offers a chance to measure how far they have come since that afternoon.
All told, City will play 12 matches across three competitions during a hectic October and November period. A demanding run, and one that will test the squad's depth.
