Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Manchester City, as usual, are the favorites to win the league, and, as usual, sit at the top of the league table. Inconsistency is not a word that seems to exist in Pep Guardiola's dictionary, and Manchester City's sustained brilliance has almost become monotonous now.
The club decided to add centre-back Josko Gvardiol, midfielders Matheus Nunes and Mateo Kovacic and winger Jeremy Doku to a treble-winning squad. Not much can be said about Manchester City; they are efficiently run, are well-versed in recruitment, and have the best manager in the world at the helm.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, are eighth in the league. Steve Cooper has done well with the club, and they have won two of their first five games in the league so far. They did not sign as many players this summer as they did last time around, but they still were very active.
Their most expensive acquisition was Ivorian midfielder Ibrahim Sangare. The 25-year-old has been on the radar for some time, and Nottingham Forest did well to pick him up for €35 million.
Manchester City will be the favorites against every club in the Premier League.
