In my opinion, Nottingham Forest will have a hard time against Manchester City because Manchester City will focus on the Premier League after being eliminated from the Champions League. Although Nottingham seems to be performing well, I think they will lose in the Manchester match this year. If Nottingham Forest gets 3 points, this will become a problem for Manchester City.
After falling from the top of the standings and being eliminated from the Champions League, Pep Guardiola continues to make improvements in the team and deepen the depth of his squad in order to achieve better results at the end of the season and get another ticket to the Champions League. However, the competition in the top 4 positions is a little tighter, so Guardiola and the team must fight harder to be able to finish in the top 4 at least.
Pep is trying, he's having a bad season and he's trying well managing it. His only problem was that while he was in his prime performance, he didn't sell out for Rodri's replacement knowing fully well he's the pivot of his play. Now injured, nobody could fit in and he had no secondary strategy to make up for Rodri's absence.
The match against Nottingham Forest is of course a crucial match, but on the other hand this is also a momentum for Manchester City to be able to shift Nottingham Forest's position in 3rd place in the standings. However, if Manchester City loses or the match ends with a draw, then their position will be shifted by Chelsea, because in week 28 Chelsea is quite favored to be able to win 3 points from Leicester City.
I'm now expecting City to win that match. From my prediction, it's either a draw, or Nottingham wins. They're in a very good form to withstand Manchester city in all ramification, so I'm looking forward to City dropping to the 5th position temporarily if Chelsea succeeds in winning Leicester City.
