This season Manchester City performances looks very unserious that’s even the team that we didn’t expect they able to defeat them are wining then easily without find it difficult, imagine that the all Manchester City end up in the top 4 in the table; if not because say their lack of inconsistency they suppose still in that position.
Manchester City after losing to Real Madrid in UEFA Champions League playoff phase, will return to Premier League and focus on it. Because this will be their only competition on last months of season and it can help them gaining a slot to Champions League next season as well. With their full focus for the league, they will create enough pressure on Nottingham Forest and Arsenal, then eventually will take over third and second positions in several coming weeks.
And with their current position i don’t think they can able to move to the any other position, because their performances is total down that’s even the Newcastle are about to take over the top 4 from them; and if care is not taken they can make it possible by Manchester City from that top 4 since there’s know points deference between them.
They can even take a second position of Arsenal if Arsenal won't play too well. The season is still long enough for Manchester City to secure their position in top four and can jump higher too. Arsenal don't show good consistency in this season and if they are not carefully, they will lose a second position to Manchester City. I believe that Nottingham Forest soon will fall out of top four, not because other clubs play better but Nottingham Forest already hit their limits.
