An endless streak and an overtaking maneuver to set the record straight. After the thrashing against Liverpool, which came at the end of a week that also saw them eliminated from the Champions League, Guardiola’s Manchester City seem to have regained their rhythm with two wins in a row, one in the FA Cup, to try to give a different meaning to the season.
And in the early afternoon on Saturday, the smell of a big match could help the Catalan coach’s team continue their winning streak and pull ahead of Nottingham, the real revelation of this season. The hosts are one point ahead in the Premier League standings, which was truly unpredictable at the beginning of this season. But that’s how it is at the moment, and we have to take note of that, just as we have to take note of something else that we mentioned in our headline.
What does this streak mean? It means one thing for sure, which should continue on Saturday afternoon: in the last five meetings between these two teams, Manchester City has won four times and only conceded a goal in the one draw (1-1). These have all been clear-cut victories, and it is clear that Nottingham find the Citizens a tough nut to crack, too difficult to overcome. Therefore, we believe that an away win is highly likely.

The prediction
Maybe this time City could even score a goal, given the defensive problems they have had throughout the season, but in the end Guardiola’s team will take three points and return to third place in the table. There is little doubt about that.
