Nottingham Forest, emerging unexpectedly above Manchester City this matchday, face a crucial clash that could define their fate and rewrite their recent narrative.
After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Nottingham Forest surprised everyone with their impressive turnaround. Moreover, Manchester City, despite winning the title, now find themselves unexpectedly challenged by Forest’s resilience.
The Tricky Trees have suffered a brief setback, winning only one of their last five league games. However, their strong spirit keeps them in contention for a top-four finish as they maintain a slim two-point advantage.
They now face the possibility of dropping out of the top four for the first time in 2025. Therefore, a win over Manchester City, their first since December 1997, is essential to restore their momentum.
Manchester City has experienced a disappointing season so far. They have only collected 47 points after 27 rounds, a tally reminiscent of 2009/10.
Pep Guardiola’s side may be limited to a top-four finish in the league. Furthermore, losing this match would mark the worst points total in Guardiola’s tenure, a record they have never seen before.
Six wins in their last nine league games suggest City might leapfrog Forest if they recover from their defeats. Notably, only Chris Wood has scored for Nottingham Forest against Manchester City since their return to the top flight.
Erling Haaland returned to action with the decisive goal in City’s latest league outing. Additionally, Nottingham Forest remain the only team yet to trail at half-time in a Premier League home game this season.
