Nottingham Forest

Under the management of Nuno Espirito Santo, the team is desperately fighting to retain their status in the elite English division. After 34 matches played, the "Forest" have accumulated only 26 points. They hold a narrow one-point lead over their closest relegation-threatened rival, Luton Town.
Nottingham Forest recently secured three points in the league for the first time in a long while. Supported by their home fans, the "Forest" defeated Fulham 3-1. However, they failed to build on this success. In the subsequent three rounds, they only managed to secure one point, drawing at home with Wolverhampton Wanderers (2-2). Notably, last weekend Nottingham suffered a 0-2 defeat away to Everton.

Manchester City

The "Citizens" were eliminated from the Champions League, losing to Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the tournament. Following that, City faced a tough challenge against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, managing to secure victory only in the latter stages of the match. Essentially, the main objective for Pep Guardiola's team now is to win the league title.
Due to the slip-ups of their direct competitors, the citizens have been given a carte blanche in the race for the gold medals. Moreover, the fixture list is favorable for Manchester City. In addition to Nottingham, they will face Wolverhampton Wanderers, Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham. Midweek, City played an away match against Brighton, securing a 4-0 victory, and prior to that, they thrashed Luton 5-1 at home.
