As they so often do, Manchester City has picked up the pace in the final stretch of the season and are once again in the strongest position to win the title. They trail Arsenal by a point but with a game in hand, and their next challenge will be a trip to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest.
Forest’s Premier League safety is on the ropes as they only lead 18th-place Luton Town by one point. Even at home, finding a result against Pep Guardiola’s City side will be a daunting challenge, but pulling it off could be a season-defining moment for Forest. The Cityzens have scored 17 goals in their last four Premier League matches, and will look to keep taking care of business as they close in on their fourth straight Premier League title.
