Manchester City has lost four games in a row in the Premier League recently, and lost two games in a row without scoring. This is probably the most shameful record since Guardiola became the coach of Manchester City. So Manchester City's offensive end should also adjust the goal today.
Manchester City's midfield core De Bruyne has completely recovered in this game. Guardiola confirmed before the game that he has recovered to full health. After being a substitute in five consecutive games, he may start in this game. Before, De Bruyne was given about 20 minutes per game as a substitute, which was not enough for him to change the game. This is also the main reason why Haaland has scored 2 goals in the past 8 Premier League games. In this game, I hope that De Bruyne's starting can activate Haaland at the same time!
The opponent Nottingham Forest is the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season, and it can still rank 6th after 13 rounds. Nottingham Forest's top scorer Chris Wood has been regarded as the best center forward in the Premier League recently. He has scored 5 goals in the last 6 games. Chris Wood has scored 12 goals in the last 13 away games he started!
And there is a unique fighting spirit in this game, that is, as long as he can score in this game, he can become the top scorer in the Premier League era in Forest's history. You know, Chris Wood can create the team record in just three seasons.
The only game Liverpool, the current leader of the Premier League, lost this season was to Nottingham Forest. Although Nottingham Forest lost 0-3 to Arsenal in the last away game, it is impossible for them to have no ideas about Manchester City, which is in a slump recently, and they will not surrender easily even if they are away.
For Manchester City, it is absolutely unacceptable to lose 8 consecutive games. At present, the standings have fallen to 4th place. In fact, after De Bruyne's comeback, there are not too many main players now. They must do their best to stop the decline.
