If observed Nottingham Forest with a draw against Arsenal most likely Nottingham Forest seems to be able to steal points in the match against Man City, although Nottingham Forest must focus on the FA Cup in the fifth round in tomorrow's match, and there is time for them to rest with a schedule that is not so busy, Maybe there will be many people who will doubt Man City's game with some less than good results in several weeks, although this week they were able to win the match but with Man City's current condition of course there are many doubts about being able to defeat Nottingham Forest next week.

Actually, in this match, both Man City and Nottm Forest must be equally careful. Indeed, Man City as a club, is much bigger and stronger than Nottm Forest. But in terms of performance so far, Man City is quite inconsistent.

But on the other hand, Nottm Forest must also be careful, because in the last match, Man City could also return to the top, and won against Tottenham who had destroyed the club several times.

I think Manchester City F.C. has a higher probability of winning this match, which will be played this Saturday. Even though Nottingham Forest seems a little better on the table, technically speaking, they both have the guts to outplay the other team and come out on top. Both teams played 27 matches and won 14 of them.

Manchester City have won three of their last matches they played while for Nottm Forest it is only a single win out of the five matches. This shows that Man City will have more confidence, and they will be eyeing to move ahead of Nottm Forest after this match.

Checking their statistics, there is every possibility that Manchester city will win the game because there last 5 matches with Nothingham forest, they have only drawn one and Manchester city win the other four and secondly Nothingham forest last 3 matches they loss 2 and draw 1 which is a sign of weakness and like I said earlier where they are now is not there regular position so there is every possibility that they will or might be displaced very soon and I won't be surprised if Chelsea even top them but football is unpredictable, full of surprises so lets see what happen this  coming weekend.

Now Manchester United are out of the FA Cup. They are already aimless in the PL - apart from not relegating  .  Amorim should target the Europa League trophy no matter what.

The only trophy left which Manchester United can win this season is Europa, and from the way Manchester United are playing currently, am not so sure that they will be able to win the Europa league title this season, but let’s just see how things will be for Manchester United.

Amorim should work on how he will improve Manchester United performance next season, I we shouldn’t see Manchester United struggle next season the way they are struggling currently, Amorim should improve Manchester United’s performance, so that we won’t be seeing united at 15th position next season.  Everyone are now seeing United as weak club which is not suppose to be.

Anyway this summer needs to go well for this club. Otherwise the board might not be patient with Amorim as much as they were with Erik ten Hag.

If Amorim fails to improve Manchester United performance by next season, then I won’t be surprise that Amorim might not really stay long at Manchester United before he will be sacked. This season is already about to end, so what Amorim should focus on now is how he will improve United performance by next season.

We have seen Nottingham Forest drop points in the last few matches. But this team is strong. Nottingham Forest have also scored points against strong teams like Liverpool. So the Manchester City vs Nottingham match is also likely to be very exciting.

This is Nottingham Forest's home match. Nottingham Forest is strong in home matches. Nottingham Forest has lost only 2 matches out of 12 home matches. On the other hand, Manchester City has lost 5 matches out of 14 away matches and won 6 matches. Considering the statistics, the chances of City winning seem low to me. I think the match will be a draw.

Yeah I think you may be right, because looking at their past record manchester city have won three times in a row. that was when they are still in a very good performance. So considering their current performance, I think the result will be quite different from that of last season.

because not'for will always struggle to break that record, moreover if manchester city will succeed in wining not'for I think that is going to make it 4 in a row for manchester city. Of which you and I know that the possibility for manchester city to gain victory over not'for with this their current performance is very low. Well let's see how it goes with them.

Forest are a decent team this season. But I must add a piece of information like they have never beaten Manchester City in the recent years. Only a draw and many losses.

This is why I doubt them against Manchester City in the opening match of the new week. Despite their playing home...

Guardiola is having difficult days. But I think they can win this game.    If Arsenal had better finishers last week they could have won away against Forest. Manchester City can do it instead now.

Now Manchester United are out of the FA Cup. They are already aimless in the PL - apart from not relegating  .  Amorim should target the Europa League trophy no matter what.

With the way Manchester United play, I don't see them qualifying over Real Sociedad. Real Sociedad is a much better team than Man United and I might even go out on a limp and say they will win Man United home and away. Against Barcelona they rested a lot of their key players for the United game and some where suspended, meaning the team United will be facing will be a very different team from  the one that faced Barcelona. Manchester United had easy games in the league phased but they still struggled with a lot of teams.

Anyway this summer needs to go well for this club. Otherwise the board might not be patient with Amorim as much as they were with Erik ten Hag.

It's going to be difficult for United to have a good summer.
If they don't win the Europa League, that would mean no European football for the next season and good players will like to go to a team that plays in the Champions League.
Another reason I believe the summer won't be good for United is because they are known for signing shiny toys instead of what they actually need.
In my opinion, Amorim should be allowed to choose the players he wants so he can build his team with his own hands,

[Lidger]

Nottingham Forest have so much at stake when they face Manchester City next, they have come a long way this season so I expect even if they will go down it wouldn’t happen without a fight. Manchester City should expect a tough game when they face Nottingham Forest. It’s an all or nothing game for Nottingham Forest because Chelsea have an 85% winning probability when they face Leicester City.

Man City are in a dubious state towards the end of the season so I wouldn't underestimate Nottingham Forest. This is a game that on paper is hard to predict the outcome. All teams have a big chance especially Nottingham Forest who are very determined this season to secure a ticket to UCL next season. Then Chelsea obviously have to get back on track if they really bet on finishing 4th in the standings. Yesterday against a relegated team they were able to get points easily so it's no different now against Leicester City.

Manchester City will enter the field on March 8 against Nottm Forest in an important match to bring their position in the Premier League to the third position of the points table. Forest is now in the third position of the points table with one point more than Manchester City, so if Manchester City wins in the next match, Manchester City will have two more points than Nottm Forest and this two point gap will take Manchester City to the third position in the points table. If we look at the statistics of the last five matches between Manchester City vs Nottm Forest, we can see that out of the last five matches, Manchester City won by a big margin in four matches and Manchester City lost only one match. Considering the great statistics of the last five matches, Manchester City must be ahead of us and if Manchester City can play their normal game then I think Manchester City will definitely get full points in this match and they will come to number three in the points table.

[SensitiveEyes]

Definitely. Given Liverpool's strong  attacking frontline, they are heavy favourites against a relegation threatened side like Southampton. Liverpool will likely dominate and secure a convincing victory.

Like a 10-0 record for the PL?

Manchester City's clash against Nottingham forest could be a tricky encounter. Manchester City have struggled with inconsistency in recent matches while Nottingham Forest have been surprisingly resilient this season sitting just a point behind City on standings, however given City’s squad depth and quality I believe they still hold an advantage. If Pep Guardiola's side can regain their rhythm, they should be able to secure the win but Nottingham Forest defensive organization could make it challenging.

Forest will be tired because they came through a hard FA Cup game. Man City are hitting form so they should win. Peps going to have a difficult press conference if City lose.

[MainIbem]

If Manchester City wins they'll have the hedge of going up but I don't really trust them anymore this season cause they've disappointed in several games they're supposed to win very easily, sometimes it's good to judge the outcome of a match with the previous record of both teams but this is a different season and Nottingham Forest are outstanding compared to the previous ones so they could make a difference and either draw or even win City since they're not in their best form this season. Well, if that happens, Chelsea has a big opportunity to top them since they'll be meeting Leicester City that's struggling in the relegation, we all know how tough it is for them this season so it would be easy for Chelsea to achieve the 3 points. Anyways I know football can be very unpredictable sometimes but going for Chelsea to win Leicester City and Manchester City to either win or draw is not a bad option, let's see how it goes.

[ITExpert]

Two seasons ago Arsenal performed well and always got second place in the standings with Man City dominating. And this season when Man City was down, they did not take advantage of it well. Instead,d it is a great opportunity for Liverpool to lead now.
Next season Arsenal may have to make changes to improve their performance and also their level of consistency throughout the season. If Man City next season returns to its good form, coupled with Liverpool it will certainly be difficult for Arsenal to compete.

Manchester City is not playing well this season which is why Arsenal played very well matches and got good position which give them a good win. It was a loss for them because they had a good chance to win the match and collect their points to strengthen themselves but it definitely hurt Manchester City's performance which benefited Arsenal a little bit but they should have taken full advantage of it.  It is a better opportunity if they take full advantage of it otherwise Manchester City and other teams will not give it. If they play strong, they won't need anything if they play defensively and work hard and change their style of play. Arsenal are a strong and hardworking team, they need to strengthen themselves and improve their position. Given the same, I think Manchester City will make a comeback, which should be enough interest next season.

[Lannakosa]

Yeah I think you may be right, because looking at their past record manchester city have won three times in a row. that was when they are still in a very good performance. So considering their current performance, I think the result will be quite different from that of last season.

because not'for will always struggle to break that record, moreover if manchester city will succeed in wining not'for I think that is going to make it 4 in a row for manchester city. Of which you and I know that the possibility for manchester city to gain victory over not'for with this their current performance is very low. Well let's see how it goes with them.

When Guardiola said that he doesn't believe that anyone in the Premier League will be able to repeat City's achievement in the coming seasons, I think that he wasn't bragging, but simply assessing the situation adequately. And in my opinion, it's not that important, I still consider Guardiola one of the best coaches of our time, who knows how to build a team and win tournaments, so I'm sure that if you give him enough time, he will become champions with City again.

If Man City improves next season, and Arsenal is still like this without any changes and updates in their squad, I think Arteta will start to have difficulty competing. Moreover, the competition is not only with Man City, but there are other teams like Liverpool who will also do better next season.
Liverpool might win the Premier League trophy, and it is possible that next season they will have the same target for the Premier League. Although there is a possibility that the competition will be tighter if Man City can be better next season.

Now the direction of competition for next season is starting to be seen, Man City is starting to make improvements after experiencing a bad period in the Guardiola era. The management immediately moved quickly in the January transfer market, several quality players were successfully brought in, perhaps they will spend money again when the summer transfer market opens.
Arsenal need a big breakthrough to compete with Liverpool and Man City because so far they have always been a regular team in the top four, but still have difficulty winning the title.

[bitgolden]

Manchester City having a bad season doesn't mean that they should be losing to Nottingham, plus they are not that far away, if they win, then there is a chance that City could maybe finish third place, that is not a bad deal at all. The top, Liverpool, is basically settled at this point and we can say Arsenal is guaranteed a second place unless something major shifts.

But, the third fourth and fifth place battle is still going on and that is fun for the time being. Sure in 10 years time nobody will remember the fourth place or anything like that, but we should be looking at this as fun for the season itself, until the summer. The team that wins this game will get a much better future, and it would be a big advantage for them.

I think the chances of changes occurring in the first and second positions are very unlikely to occur although it still does not rule out all possibilities that can occur until the end of the season, several teams are currently fighting for two automatic champions league tickets next season so it looks like the competition for positions 3 and 4 will be very tight, the results of the match between manchester city vs nottingham forest this weekend will certainly create significant changes in the position and opportunities of the two teams later, so indeed both teams must be able to maximise the match later to get 3 points, the result of the match between manchester city and nottingham, I think will also have an impact on the chances of teams like chelsea and newcastle, because after all with a small difference in points from 3rd and 4th place it is of course still possible for chelsea and newcastle to enter the top 4 zone later.

Manchester, even tried to be coming up gradually and to have moved up to this extent is a good sign that there is going to be a favorable game for them because they seem to have woken up so its going to be a tough and entertaining game to watch, but this time around, we can not even predict and who would have expected nothing ham forest to perform well this season even making it to the top three and what surprises me the most was the fact that they can bounce back this fast is what surprised me because the way the city are coming up they will for sure fight for top three so there is more chances for them to make top three because the points are not that much that the city can not recover.

It was a good step that they have taken so far, and this is more reason why you don't conclude I was even thinking in my head that the city might not even make the top three this season, and that is why i have learnt to watch what i saw but according to what i was see i was expecting the city to pop up to the fourth position and Chelsea did not even make it, so this is one of the things that Chelsea did not work to hard.

[Cookdata]

Now Manchester United are out of the FA Cup. They are already aimless in the PL - apart from not relegating  .  Amorim should target the Europa League trophy no matter what.

I know it's very difficult. This squad isn't capable of challenging for a PL title. Not even for a CL spot. But this is even beyond that. There are some additional problems among the players.

Anyway this summer needs to go well for this club. Otherwise the board might not be patient with Amorim as much as they were with Erik ten Hag.

I'm not going to give Manchester United any hope, if they can get crash out FA Cup, there is definitely no chance for them in the Europa league, how can they even win the league like that? Not possible, if they try perhaps they might beat Real Sociedad but wouldn't go pass semi final, the table looks so tough for them. They can only enjoy that while it last but there is nothing different that will come out of that league they have not play, the state they are now is not a luck stage, it's where they have to show hard work.

The Premier League who knows, there days are number we can't tell but Manchester United is beginning to move like Everton, this team is known for moving a way from relegation when they see they are getting to the danger zone, that's what Manchester United is doing. They were in 15th place some days ago going to 16th and one game they won poor IPswitch help them, I don't know how they are.goinb to do this coming weekend with Arsenal that is struggling for top stand.

The team that wins this game will get a much better future, and it would be a big advantage for them.

Although Arsenal looks safe in second place but still, if Manchester City is in third place by beating and overtaking Nottingham later. Then I am sure, Manchester City will then have a chance to overtake Arsenal too, because I personally still think it seems like Arsenal will experience some bad results in other matches later. At the same time, Manchester City who will only focus on the Premier League, then it is very possible that Manchester City will get consistent wins that allow Manchester City to overtake Arsenal. But even if that scenario does not happen, it certainly will not be a bad result for Manchester City who still managed to finish in third place in this difficult season.

[Hvdv]

In my opinion, Nottingham Forest will have a hard time against Manchester City because Manchester City will focus on the Premier League after being eliminated from the Champions League. Although Nottingham seems to be performing well, I think they will lose in the Manchester match this year. If Nottingham Forest gets 3 points, this will become a problem for Manchester City.

This season Manchester City are in terrible situation and that’s why their performances don’t want to moving as well if their performances just be moving forward and backward, the lack inconsistency is the one killing them as much; and that’s why Arsenal take full advantage from them by getting better positions.

Currently now Arsenal are in 2nd place in the table which is never enough for them their still fight to get the top of standing, because they need that first position the only things that kill and make arsenal points still never boost up; is because of some their previous matches that they lose and also played a draw against most of their opponents. That is the best thing for Manchester City, they should only go and get prepared for the next season.

It's not always simple to defend a title four consecutive times, their previous performances got them lots of credibility in EPL, but they couldn't meet up with expectations this season. However other teams have analyzed their strategies and came more prepared to face the champion. This time Pep wasn't favored, it's time for the reds to lift the trophy, third position will be great for the Cityzens.
