Playing at home is a big advantage to Arsenal in this match because they will utilize every possible opportunity wisely with the support of the crowd. Nottingham Forest performance was pretty good last season, for that reason, I wouldn't underestimate them because if Arsenal fails to put in much effort to win this match, Nottingham Forest might snatch all three points from them.
This will happen only if Nottingham Forest new manager can apply the same strategy as the former coach of the team has been doing. I don’t like the way he was sacked but I just hope the new manager can at least do same as the former manager cause he was doing extremely well in the club and gave the team a qualification to an European competition. How some teams treats their coach after achieving a lot for them really baffles me, but I hope their are more to what we hear about the sacking internally than what we get to see online rumoring to be the cause. Arsenal are on top of their good form, so I’m not expecting a much lesser or less fierce strength for them in this match. Arsenal have the advantage in this game and winning it will be the best for them as they journey through for the premier league title this season.
@SLAAAYYYYYY, you might be correct with your thoughts on the situation with Manchester city, it just can't be a financial problem because they're a big team with oil rich owners. The prospect could be more like not getting things right anymore and the club seemingly needs a transition in the management to get back into their game strategically. I am beginning to think that Pep Guardiola is starting to lose confidence with last season's setback, after covering himself in glory for a few seasons in a row.
Consistency is very hard to maintain forever, so seeing Manchester City losing that consistency is not a big surprise. They have to face their trying times and this is one of the times, but I still see them having the potential for the league title because they’re not that poor of a team. The premier league is a very competitive league for one to remain at the top forever, so Manchester City will have to show some kind of extra effort and strength if they want to be at the top once again.
