Honestly is hard to see Manchester City drop point

You are right, I have never seen them be a team that fails when under pressure, Pep Guardiola has succeeded in bringing his squad under a lot of pressure so this is what will happen this season.
Currently, they are 1-0 ahead of Nottingham Forest, not a safe score because there are still 45 minutes left where the result of the match can change, but seeing Arsenal win against Tottenham will give City alertness to play as hard as possible to secure the three points, and in the middle Sunday against Chelsea, Manchester City will ensure that the top position is theirs until the end of the season.
In the second half, Manchester City will usually play better and score several additional goals, apart from in the FA Cup and other competitions, City has scored more than three goals in each match in the last four matches in the English Premier League and seeing that Nottingham is a weak defensive team, City has the opportunity to score more than three goals is very likely.

Only in the first half did Arsenal lead by 3 goals in this north London derby and the host Spurs seemed unable to stop every attack from the Gunners. I think the result is certain that Arsenal will win because the difference of 3 goals is very difficult to catch. Moreover, if Spurs want to win they need 4 goals and I think that is very impossible.

Mikel Arteta must provide the right strategy in the second half, especially for the defense line so that it can be strengthened again and avoid conceding. This is a high-tension match so if Spurs manage to find the back of the net then they will be even more enthusiastic about scoring another goal. For Arsenal, they have to score at least 1 more goal to finish this match and to avoid unwanted results. But if it's difficult they just need to maintain their lead until the end.

As a supporter of the Gunners, I am happy with the consistent victory of Mikel Arteta's squad in the match against Spurs. even though in reality, Ange Postecoglou's squad had more control over the match. three goals at the start of the first half, really made Arteta happy with his expression. unfortunately, for the umpteenth time David Raya made a blunder which caused Romero to reduce the score. an additional goal scored by Son from the penalty spot further reduced the position. fortunately, this match ended with Arsenal winning the North London Derby duel. In this match, several Arsenal players underperformed, such as Tomiyasu and several other defenders. apart from that, Odegaard is not playing as usual. however, for the other players, their performance was quite good, especially Kai Harvertz who scored one goal and one assist. plus, the long pass that Harvertz aimed at Xaka was put to good use and converted into a counter-attack goal. So, Arsenal's position at the top of the standings is temporarily unshakeable.

In other matches, the Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City battle is underway. position when City was leading 0-1. In the second half City should have been able to increase their lead. But who knows, maybe the home team will be able to balance this match in the second half and equalize. well, let's wait until the City and Forest match ends.

The score is still 0-0 at the time of writing, but as you said I am also optimistic about betting on a Man City win, because so far even though there have been no goals scored, Notthingham game cannot dominate the field. So Man City has a chance to get 3 points today. There is still quite a long time and maybe in this first half there could be 1 goal for Man City. Doku and KDB are enough to play their role in opening up more opportunities, but in this match we really need Foden contribution but unfortunately his injury means that the striker position occupied by Alvarez is not as sharp as Foden.

Manchester City have scored a goal this time and as usual they are the team that dominates the game. So far Manchester City has managed to win the first half with a score of 0-1 over Nottingham, but what is certain is that they have to work extra hard to score more goals in the second half considering that Arsenal also managed to get full points today.

Arsenal's win in the away match against Tottenham should motivate Manchester City to win the match against Nottingham. Manchester City must ensure they continue to get full points in each remaining match because only then can they defend their title this season. The good thing is, Manchester City is leading today's match against Nottingham, but they have to be careful because Nottingham can also threaten with their fast attacks.

Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest

Currently, the halftime break is going on. And Manchester City is ahead in the match by 1-0. I think we expect Manchester City to easily win this match as they are going up against a team that is trying to somehow avoid relegation. At the same time, Manchester City is chasing the English Premier League title. So if there is any result other than three points for Manchester city it is going to be a big surprise for everyone. Manchester City has a great chance to win the English Premier League title even though the competition is really high. Maybe we can say that Liverpool has fallen off a little bit. But Arsenal is still very much in the title race. Well, Liverpool is also still in the race but the recent performance has not been great from them. Any result other than a win for Manchester City is going to jeopardize the title race for them. So Manchester City should aim for nothing but a win. There is also no excuse for Manchester City as they are not taking part in the champions league competition anymore.

[makishart]

Half time and one nil for city vs forest.
It should be noted that if one goal is scored by Gvardiol, he is capable of doing so through his header. The situation may differ in the second half. Pep is once again making minor changes. He designates Doku as the right wing. He rotates his player. I believe Pep may start Haland in the second half.
I'm not sure what Pep's main motivation is, but I didn't expect Manchester City to use their entire squad against Forest. I understand that Pep tries to minimize the risk of injury to his players, but this is also an important match.

Foden is missing from the lineup and i think he has a problem with himself, and I believe he may have sustained a minor injury. Foden will comeback later. but I am hopeful that he will be able to return soon. City must have won this game, or it will face disaster caused by arsenal is always winning the game. This is the race between city and arsenal. Nottingham Forest always plays defensively against Manchester City.
Gvardiol's goal could be the best opportunity for City to put pressure on Arsenal and city must get three points from forest at this time.

Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest

Currently, the halftime break is going on. And Manchester City is ahead in the match by 1-0. I think we expect Manchester City to easily win this match as they are going up against a team that is trying to somehow avoid relegation. At the same time, Manchester City is chasing the English Premier League title. So if there is any result other than three points for Manchester city it is going to be a big surprise for everyone. Manchester City has a great chance to win the English Premier League title even though the competition is really high. Maybe we can say that Liverpool has fallen off a little bit. But Arsenal is still very much in the title race. Well, Liverpool is also still in the race but the recent performance has not been great from them. Any result other than a win for Manchester City is going to jeopardize the title race for them. So Manchester City should aim for nothing but a win. There is also no excuse for Manchester City as they are not taking part in the champions league competition anymore.

I wouldn't say Manchester City could win this match easily, in fact they really had difficulty holding back the onslaught of attacks built by Nottingham Forest in the second half. Nottingham created several good chances in the second half and they really put Manchester City under high pressure. If Manchester City are careless in defense, then I am sure that Nottingham will get the goals they are looking for in this match.

Nottingham Forest is well motivated to get a win in their home match because they hope to stay in the Premier League next season. They are too close to the relegation zone, but Nottingham still has the opportunity to widen the gap if they are able to achieve several wins in the remaining matches this season. The probability of Manchester City winning is very high, but they would be safer if they scored one additional goal in the second half.

This match should not be a difficult match for a giant club like Man City. Because Nottingham is not as strong as Arsenal or other strong teams that are comparable to Man City. So I think Man City will even score another goal or add another goal in the second half which is currently underway. But so far, Nottingham as the host has not been that disappointing. They put up quite a good fight even though they defended more.

Man City has no choice but to win if they want to keep fighting for the title. Because if Man City loses just once then Arsenal will immediately have the biggest chance of winning this title.

[Odohu]

I'm not seeing any spectacular about Manchester City performance today, they are playing as if they are fatigued. If they continue this way, Nottingham Forest will get an equalizer and put them in tight corner as regards the trophy. Now I see why the bookies gave the match over 2.5 goal as big as 1.56 odds whereas Bournemouth against Brighton the same option was given 1.44 odds. I guess I fell for trap of thinking that Manchester City will score many goals today, the reason I played them on goals. If Manchester City cannot score more goals then it will be my please to see Nottingham Forest score to make the league interesting.

[bitcampaign]

Manchester City have scored a goal this time and as usual they are the team that dominates the game. So far Manchester City has managed to win the first half with a score of 0-1 over Nottingham, but what is certain is that they have to work extra hard to score more goals in the second half considering that Arsenal also managed to get full points today.

The second half is still long and the score is still 0-1 for Man City, but everything could change and even Nottingham could equalize the score in the second half, nothing is impossible even though Man City dominated the game in the first half, most likely Nottingham can reverse this in the second half. I hope that in the second half, Nottingham can provide fierce resistance in stopping Man City from winning the title this season with Arsenal.

Manchester City has been surprised with the performance of Nottingham Forest in this match  because this performance is above expectations, I believe the motivation and their strength in trying to stop City in this game is coming base on the fact that, Nottingham Forest is doing their best not to slide down to the relegation zone, But Manchester City we know isn't a club that plays with opportunity, especially when the league is at the point of completion and now has finally shown their superiority over their host team Nottingham and has sealed this game with 2 goals.

You are right, anything is still very possible because there is a lot of time left in the second half. But Pep Guardiola rotated several players in the second half, including replacing Ederson and Doku and bringing on Kovacic and Ortega. Haaland came on to replace Jack Grealish, now Haaland has scored a goal for Manchester City's 0-2 lead.

Nottingham put pressure on Manchester City's defense at the start of the second half, but Pep Guardiola began to anticipate this with a change in strategy. Haaland's entry has made a lot of difference, he is a striker who has really helped Manchester City with his current score of 21 goals. Haaland leads the top scorer standings, previously Cole Palmer was at the top with 20 goals.

After a hectic period of back to back games, it's expected that Manchester City players will suffer fatigue so I'm not surprised that they're are not as smart and fast as they used be. Manchester City even in their fatigue state has been the best team in the game and just few minutes ago, Erling Haaland added another goal to extend Manchester City's lead in the game.
Nottingham Forest is doing their best as an average English Premier League club but they just can't match the strength of their visitors. If Manchester City goes on to win the game which I think is definitely going to happen, they'll reduce their points difference behind current league leaders Arsenal to just one point. The reigning English Premier League champions have been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League so they're doing everything possible to make sure they retain the English Premier League title.

Manchester City underrated this match, they did not played with their full squad thinking of their next Premier League match against Wolves because they are expecting the match to be a tough one because Wolves defeated Manchester City in their first leg match.
Pep started the match with Grealish and benched Foden, and he also benched Haaland until second half when he sees too much pressure coming from the Nottingham forest side.

As expected, Manchester City is winning the match 2-0 and they will definitely win the match, but with such performance they displayed, if they keep it up like this, they might drop points in their next match against Wolves or West Ham or even against Tottenham; this means that, if Arsenal keep winning their matches, they can end up victorious.

This is the kind of performance we have come to expect from Manchester City players. City players performed well and won the match 2-0. The first goal was scored by defender Gvardiol and the second goal was scored by Haaland.



However, in today's home match, Nottingham Forest's players have managed to perform well. Nottingham Forest players did not play defensively in the home match. Despite having only 33% of the ball possession, Nottingham Forest's players did a lot of attacking in this match. A total of 14 shots were made by the players of Nottingham Forest. On the other hand, Manchester City players made 11 shots. Although City's players attacked relatively less, City's every attack was strong. Nottingham Forest's players would have conceded a few more goals in this match if Nottingham's defenders and goalkeepers had not performed well.

[X-ray]

If Onana performs poorly, then Burnley should be able to score several goals through Lyle Foster. Onana managed to keep his goal without error, he saved Manchester United from several big Burnley chances before Casemiro required Onana to make an unintentional foul.

It's hard to say that if onana performs quite well in that game. Even though he has been making some impotant saves but that can't be used to deny the fact that if onana's fault when he slapped burnley's player cost club two points, right?

But did you know, Manchester United basically deserved a pinati prize too, but the referee was reluctant to give it. From a clear perspective, one of the Burnley players touched the ball with his hand and that was worthy of a penalty in my opinion. But what happened, Manchester United failed to win again at home today.

Since the referee was not declaring it as a handball. There's nothing united players could do.

[KTChampions]

maybe I'm too confident to take the risk of -1.5 but for me this is the most comfortable option.
It's impossible for Man City to waste the rest of this match just for a draw or defeat, but I'm sure that in the rest of this match Man City will beat Notthingham with a big score even without Haaland.
what do you think ? Will Man City waste this opportunity?

Congratulations on the victory. It was a reasonable bet since the advantage in power is too great and if you bet on a simple victory for City, the odds will be too small. As expected, the game was dominated by City and I would say that the score of 2-0 does not quite reflect their advantage, however, I am sure that at any moment they could improve if the need arose.

I agree that Tottenham wished they had played confidently right from the beginning and not the tail end of the game but the thing with them is they don't really know how to take games serious. This is a derby and in the first leg, the Gunners played out a 2-2 draw. They didn't get a win but this should tell them something about how Arsenal knows how to prey on a weak defense and that's what Tottenham Hotspur defense was; weak.
 Bukayo Saka has become to the first English player to score home and away in a derby and I'd tell you for free, at this spate of confidence the Gunners are displaying, Tottenham Hotspur are no match for them.
Arteta really needs to work on David Raya though because I feel the more he keeps making such sloppy mistakes, it will be difficult to maintain clean sheets. With how they played from the first half, you could tell they were on their way to keeping their third clean sheet, and it would have been quite embarrassing had Spurs leveled the scores.

Arsenal's performance in the first half of the derby match was very impressive, but they were not very entertaining in the second half. Tottenham almost secured 1 point in the home game and prevented Arsenal from winning the match, but unfortunately that never happened.

In the end, Arsenal still leads the standings this week even though Manchester City also won their match against Nottingham. Manchester City has 1 postponed match against Tottenham, this match will be a difficult match for Manchester City in mid-May. Arsenal leads the current standings with a 1 point advantage over Manchester City, but considering that Manchester City has 1 match in hand, Arsenal has a lower chance of leading the standings until the end of the season.

Honestly, I was not expecting Manchester City to struggle to win the game against a team like Nottingham Forest; I was thinking that Manchester City would find the match so easy and win with many goals. Manchester City really performed below my expectations. At this moment, it was not a team like Nottingham Forest that I was expecting to play a play a tough match against Manchester City. But in the preseason, I think they found the match tough because maybe they underestimated them because even Haaland did not start the match.
 
When the season is coming to an end, predictions become harder because even weak teams become more serious. Unexpected things frequently happen when the season is coming to an end. At this period, anything always happens, so that is why someone needs to avoid some options.

This is going to be a easy win for Manchester city because despite Nottingham Forest are hosting their current performance can not withstand the pressure of Manchester city, Arsenal just finished their game against Tottenham and it ended 2-3 and arsenal secured 3 points to amount to 80 points, i have interest in this title, if am to choose i prefer Arsenal to lift the trophy this season.

This matchup is tough. City is dangerous without Foden; probably a last-minute decision, terrible. Grealish there? He's creative and deadly. Pep replacing Haaland is clever. He may be recovering from a knock, so rest him. I enjoy how City changes things up. Forest's five defenders in the back say everything. They know City's attack is crazy and don't want a gunfight. No wonder City is widely favored. Make it interesting? I like over 2.5 goals. City scores quickly. Will City dominate the first half or can Forest hold on?

It is an important win for Arsenal even it is not easy after Tottenham Hotspur scored a second goal. This helps them to stay at a first position but hours later, Manchester City got three points and now only 1 point behind Arsenal.

Manchester City still have one match, and if they win it, they will take over the first position from Arsenal. This win against Tottenham Hotspur is important because Arsenal went through one of two biggest matches in last 4 matches and they can continue with their fight and hope that Manchester City won't get perfect total points in last 4 matches.

Tottenham Hotspur will be hope for Arsenal to get points from Manchester City but Tottenham Hotspur have to fight for their fourth position too.

It was really a good performance by arsenal today, although I didn't expect them to win Tottenham but rather I secoetee the match to end in a draw or home win, most times we shouldnt consider the team that is in their peak at the moment, we should know what a possible outcome could be once some team meets each other, if not that totenham first goal was canceled I think their would have been a difference in their game today despite how aggressive Arsenal was at that game, they couldn't still win the match confidently, though they won but who knows what would have happened if they minutes in the match was extended, arsenal should improve in winning a match conveniently, they should avoid die minute panic, they deserve wining this match but the team has do more next time.
