Manchester City can take another substantial step toward Premier League glory with a win at Nottingham Forest
The race for the Premier League crown looks like Manchester City’s to lose after a recent surge in results has put them in a princely place ahead of Sunday’s visit to relegation candidate Nottingham Forest. Pep Guardiola’s side capitalized on Liverpool’s recent misfortunes to move up to second in the table thanks to their 4-0 hammering of Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday. And with a game in hand, as they sit just a point off pace-setter Arsenal, it seems only a matter of time before the FA Cup finalists turn the screw and reclaim the English top-flight summit as their own.

City has enjoyed a short streak of success since being dumped out of the Champions League quarter-finals by Real Madrid, using the domestic competitions to exact its frustrations.
And to good effect, too, after a narrow victory over Chelsea saw the club snatch a place in the FA Cup final, then battering Brighton to send a serious message of intent to its title rivals.
Phil Foden bagged two on Thursday to improve his case to win PFA Player of the Year, though it was Kevin De Bruyne’s diving header opener that was easily the pick of the bunch:
Guardiola could opt to switch up his XI on Sunday, with the likes of Jeremy Doku or Jack Grealish in the running to return for the City’s trip to the City Ground.
Erling Haaland is also a contender to make his first appearance in a fortnight, though the manager will be in no rush to bring the Norwegian back for this particular fixture.
Forest, meanwhile, has welcomed back a raft of players of late, though the duo of striker Taiwo Awoniyi and central defender Willy Boly remain out of action for the time being.
Regional restrictions may apply.
