This is an important game that will determine the outcome of the table standings. If Manchester City wins, they will overtake Nottingham Forest on the table and take the 3rd position. Arsenal will be hoping for Liverpool to lose while Nottingham Forest will be praying for Manchester City to lose.
The result of today match is not only crucial for both teams, but as you said, the results that occur in the match will also affect the fate of nottingham forest and arsenal, if manchester city wins in today match Nottingham will indeed drop to 4th place, but I think there is still a chance for nottingham to be able to return to third place in their next match later, but not with what will be experienced by arsenal if Liverpool win today, because after their defeat from Westham yesterday and also if Liverpool win today, then we can say if arsenal chances of winning the league this season has been tightly closed because of the large points difference.
