Manchester City-Nottingham Forest is a match valid for the fourteenth day of the Premier League and is played on Wednesday at 8:30pm: live TV, probable formations, prediction.
It’s only December, but the odds of Manchester City winning the Premier League for the fifth time in a row are getting lower and lower. The crisis of Pep Guardiola’s Cityzens shows no sign of ending, and last Sunday the gap-not only at the level of the standings-that currently exists with leading Liverpool became evident. The Reds, as was predictable, got the better of (2-0) a dull and confusing City, who never gave the feeling that they could get back into the game.
The 2-0 result is even a result that is narrow for Arne Slot’s men, who could have wreaked even more havoc on the reigning champions, on their sixth defeat in the last seven games between cups and league.
City out of the title fight?
Neither did the siparietto between Liverpool fans and Guardiola go unnoticed, with the Catalan coach reacting to a chorus of jeers at him by showing the number 6 with his hands (six like the championships he has won since he has been City’s coach). The fact of the matter is that De Bruyne and his teammates have plunged to -11 from the top and now appear to be out of the game, barring of course sensational comebacks.
In the midweek round they will try to turn things around in the challenge with Nottingham Forest, which at the same time will try to take advantage of City’s poor form to take away valuable points. The Reds, let’s remember, are going beyond what was expected and last Saturday they immediately lifted their heads after their two defeats to Newcastle and Arsenal by narrowly beating Ipswich Town (1-0) thanks to a Wood penalty. This moved Nuno Espirito Santo’s men back to sixth place, in the middle of the Europe zone and just one point behind Manchester City itself.

The Prediction
Another Manchester City misstep would be resounding, but with this precarious form for Guardiola’s men, it won’t be easy to make a full haul against a Nottingham Forest side that will show up at Etihad Stadium with nothing to lose. Unlikely that the Cityzens will be able to keep their goal unbeaten with the Reds.
