Manchester City take on Forest in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon and you can follow for LIVE updates here.

It looks like Forest have put ex-Atletico man Felipe extremely close to Haaland, which is forcing the City striker wide to get a touch of the ball. The home crowd offered a bit of encouragement after the goal, but the City Ground feels a bit falter all of a sudden. He wouldn’t have gone looking for it earlier in the season, but is willing to now. Brennan Johnson and Morgan Gibbs-White are eyeing up Aymeric Laporte on the left of City’s back three, with Bernardo spending most of his time in midfield, or even on the right. The more City waste good openings, the more confidence Forest will get of nicking a goal and extending their unbeaten run here. The foul was actually outside of the box but Worral is lucky not have been given a second yellow. They’ve taken off two defensive midfielders, and added another attacker, so maybe more space will open up in the middle for City to exploit rather than on the wings. City are still dominating, but they need to make Navas work. City are yet to make a substitution, and are only now bringing on Julian Alvarez. Terrible result for City who throw away three points and hand the momentum back to Arsenal in the title race. A bitterly disappointing afternoon and City will now have to dust themselves off ahead of facing RB Leipzig on Wednesday. Bernardo got the goal but Blues failed multiple times to extend their lead and were sucker-punched by Wood late on.

Pep Guardiola has made two changes to his team for this afternoon's Premier League meeting away at Nottingham Forest.

Manchester City were tearing cockneys apart again at the Emirates, home of Arsenal, where the blues secured all three points in a 1-3 win.

It’s a welcome sight as I feel Dias’ leadership is vital to Manchester City and what comes for the rest of the season. For me it’s no coincidence Manchester City have started to resemble themselves again with Dias leadership back in the starting 11. Jack has been outstanding of late, and it was great to see him rewarded with such a crucial goal. He didn’t give them a moment’s rest, and was unfortunate not to earn a penalty by being caught marginally offside in the build up in the 58th minute. City came to the Emirates knowing a win would be massive and could potentially shape the rest of the season. Bernardo did play on the edge, as he does when he’s at his best and was probably fortunate not to get booked earlier then he did.
