Tomorrow's game means a lot for Manchester City. If they beat Nottingham Forest away, they will move above them and into third place. I know that for Manchester City it doesn't mean much to become 2nd or 4th unless they are champions, either way they are going to the Champions League. But they will want to finish the league higher. They can say that even in our worst season we were 3rd. 
My local bookmaker has Manchester City winning odds at 1.70. We can understand that it's not going to be an easy game from odds. But against Nottingham Forest, who have been on a downward trend lately, City will take advantage of this situation.

Manchester City is the favorite to win even playing away tonight. Many observers say if the city is begin to revival it's moment to rise and show if they still club which is not to be underestimated, And the City shouldn't look upon The forest as a weak team also because from performance side, they are much better as a team who often competes in degradation zone. I guess this match will present an exciting match, because I heard Rodri as motor attack was back from injured and begin to practice. Many fans expect that guy play right away to improve their standing and may shift Arsenal's position. But we don't know yet, even if it hasn't been played, Pep would have prepared his strategy to overcome their counterattack.

EPL is coming back again, and i'm very exciting to see how my bet is gonna work this week. I'm doing parlay, but only feel doubt with my bet on City's game. Although City is slowly going back to their form, they looked so shaky at defence especially when it comes to the late game.

I often saw them bottled their win just because being so inconsistent at the second half. it makes me think they may be repeating the same mistake in this game.

I'm still counting on them, but not sure if my bet is working in this game. let's see how it works.

Everyone have a problem they're facing, probably these elite teams in the EPL are going through alot already to even standing top. Manchester united headcoach, Ruben Amorim have another test to pass this weekend and his oppositions is Mikel Arteta. Amorim needs more time to blend but so you know, Arsenal are equipped with every potential players with top phase qualities. Everyone now believes Arsenal wil win Manchester United with ease efforts this weekend, because Gunners have proven themselves worthy to compete for the league title.

Quiet with the talks of more time... what's important and lacking at the same time has got to be the tools and players who are ready to fight and play for Manchester United. Arsenal have found it difficult scoring in the last two games in the Premier League Competition but this game against Manchester United will be different,  they have not striker but I know they can still get a goal or two. I don't expect too much from Manchester United unless I see Harry Maguire and Manual Ugarte back in the squad.  Too much for Bruno Fernandez as well from SkySport but he has done more than expected in the Premier League Competition:

Not bad at all. 

I'm only doubtful about your last bet. It is quite a high risk for 1.30 odds you know. This big game might end in a draw as well. I hope it wouldn't be the reason of a loss for you.

Chelsea should be winning easily. Liverpool would even turn it into a show and score at least 3 goals by themselves.    Crystal Palace beat Ipswich earlier and I think they will do it again. Forest - Arsenal ended 0-0 last week but I think this one will end by goals from both sides.

I'm more concerning about City's game rather than United. City's strong, but they fight a club that is at peak. I expect 50:50 situation in this game.

On other hand,  MU is facing a club that more structured, have better pattern, and more consistent than them. I think they will lose it, but can be draw if they get some luck, which unlikely to happen. That's why i'm picking double chance, but hardly to believe MU's game gonna end with draw.

Your prediction is pretty cool but sometimes it is not how cool a prediction looks because I have made a prediction and it was looking so convincing that it will play but at the end it was entirely a different story. If I am to predict Nothingham forest and Manchester city I will go for handicap that is giving Nothingham forest two goals to win Manchester city and then crystal palace to win either half won't be a bad option and then Liverpool has a champions league so they might want to reserve players because of what PSG did to them so that they can defend their winning last time.

If you look at points table of EPL, both Manchester City and Nottingham Forest have same number victories. Forest is leading Manchester City by one point only because of more draws and less losses compared to City. That's why it will be an interesting contest and it's difficult to predict who will win tonight. In premier league we have seen mediocre teams giving tough time to top teams and both these teams are among top 4 teams of EPL.

Rodri, the City's midfielder is back and practising at club's Etihad Campus. He is out of action since Sep last year due to ruptured ACL and his inclusion in upcoming matches will increase City' strength.

Guardiola set up Savinho and haaland to do justice to 'Matz sels' the Nottingham forest goalkeeper with the most clean sheet this season. He's had enough saves for his club and will bring the blues an unexpected gift. De Bruyne is on sub, I don't understand why he didn't start the game. It's going to be an iconic game for Man City a one to remember, if they win. They have better histories of defeats on Nottingham forest and wants to retain a fresh win today. Let's watch how NFFC will perform without Ryan Yates.

[AYOBA]

Manchester United performance might be so poor this season, but Arsenal playing against Manchester United won’t really be a easy match for Arsenal, the pattern which Manchester United will play will be a different one, and Manchester United might surprise us the same way they surprised us against Manchester city, nobody expected a win from Manchester United in the match.

The upcoming game between Arsenal and Manchester United  I don't think the game will be hard for Arsenal.  Even though Manchester United typically delivers a huge surprise when they play against strong teams, I'm expecting the game to be simple to win for arsenal; because their performances aren't good enough to compare to Arsenal's.

If Manchester United will be playing against a weak them, then am not always having confidence in them, but now that they will be playing against a strong team, it’s not going to be a easy one, am not saying Manchester United will in the match, but even if Arsenal will win, it’s not going to be a easy one.

I know anything can happen in football, but given how Manchester United has been playing very poorly, I didn't think they would do well in their upcoming match against Arsenal. Their performances have been so poor since the start of the season, and they haven't improved up to today.

Forest is still doing very well despite missing Ryan Yates. They threatened City a few times, but sadly it was hitting the bar. If it's not, they could lead the game.

They successfully pocketed Haaland to become non existent in this game. No doubt they're still at the top 4 of EPL.

Finally, they scored through Odoi who is doing fucking awesome thing by scoring through a hard angle. I already predicted they would be winning this fucking game.

[Woodie]

Football can be brutal sometimes,  in a match that looked like Manchester City would play for the win had a late twist to it to put Nottingham Forest in front after a bizzare goal that Hudson Odoi put past Edson who should have saved that one near post but didn't and opens the gap for them to almost guarantee Champions league football for the next campaign...I wonder what's going on in Peps mind after this match a game that looked like will be goalless 

Not Citehs season for sure.

I wouldn't blame Ederson for the goal. After taking on Gvardiol, Hudson Odoi was very quick with the strike and he put the ball in the least expected angle.

Today's win makes it 4 wins against the big six teams with Liverpool, Man United, Tottenham and now City all suffered defeat in their hands. Nottingham Forest are having a fantastic campaign and I hope they don't screw up because they're very close to the finishing line. As for Pep, based on the standard he has kept at City, it will be too bad to miss out on champions league football next season. But there's still some matches to go and maybe he can get some good results.

[LGD2Business]

Manchester City suffered another bad defeat. I thought they would beat Nottingham Forest and move up to 3rd place but they couldn't even score a goal. Forest won with a goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi. Forest beat a champion after 30 years, interesting info I got from the broadcast.
I think this striped jersey is giving bad luck for Manchester City. I don't know if there are any statistics on this, but I don't remember many games they won with this jersey.

[Derekfunds]

Liverpool has lose the first half against Southampton with a 0:1 score, do you think they will come back in the second half, for me I'm not sure reason because Liverpool has champions league next week and like I said earlier they won't play hard game so that they won't get injury because they really have a tough game to play against PSG. PSG nearly kill them in the last match but Liverpool was lucky to win the game and Liverpool don't too give a fuck about them losing today because the point difference is very big so I think they won't stress theirself much though they can still come back and win from behind anything is possible.

[pawel7777]

Man City had a great opportunity to jump to the 3rd place at the expense of Nottm Forest, but instead they're at the risk of dropping down to 5th place, outside of the Champions League zone should Chelsea win their game against Leicester City tomorrow.
Something didn't click again for Man City, they dominated in possession and had more shots on goal but failed to score any. The only goal scored by Forest's Hudson-Odoi was a result of poor defending by the City, defenders left him unmarked and goalkeeper's error, who got reckless and didn't guard the near post as he was supposed to.

Meanwhile, Liverpool is leading 2-1 against Southampton at home after losing the first half 0-1.

Nottingham Forest managed to score the winning goal after successfully counterattacking, I was very surprised by this result because previously I thought Manchester City could take advantage of this opportunity to climb to 3rd position in the standings but instead they lost to Nottingham Forest even though Nottingham Forest is also a strong team this season but I think Man City's performance is not that impressive especially their front line which does not have much creativity to create many opportunities even though they control the ball position.

This is not about the costume they are familiar with, but indeed Man City's overall performance this season has often been inconsistent, and that happened again in this match.

They have come back from 0-1 to 2-1 and just now the referee's decision assisted by VAR gave Liverpool a penalty. Mo Salah who stepped up as the executor managed to score his second goal and brought Liverpool to a 3-1 lead.
Liverpool have been great this season and I am sure their Premier League trophy will increase this season.
There is no more debate about the winner of the Premier League this season. At most they are thinking about how to succeed in the UCL.

Honestly Manchester City are playing like they are lost. They look like they forgot about how to play football.    I'm afraid it's no exaggeration because they were terrible today also.

I don't even remember them creating much noticeable attacks during this game. Forest were more dangerous and they got what they wanted with a beautiful goal.

As for Liverpool, they are about to win by 3-1. 2 goals by Salah, superb work! The fans must be worshipping him this year.

City players are experiencing a psychological problem that players playing in big teams experience.
They have no championship goal. They were eliminated from the Champions League. They do not have any goals this year. Nottingham players have a goal of participating in the Champions League next year.
Nottingham stopped the bad trend with the victory they got today.
From now on, I am thinking of betting on City's opponent, especially if they play away.

Funny thing is that am kind of happy seeing Manchester city in this kind of situation because they were actually turning the premier league to something else with their constant wins and lifting of the premier league title back to back, it was almost as if there were no other teams that could match them but seeing how so many other teams are up and ready on the league just makes it a little more fierce and competitive again.
