LiontipsNottingham Forest vs Manchester City. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (February 18, 2023).
Command Analysis
Nottingham Forest became the first club in the history of the Premier League to have to substitute two starting players within the first ten minutes in the last game against Fulham - two central defenders Willy Boly and Scott McKenna suffered injuries. They lost 0-2 after the early shock but still remain six points ahead of the relegation zone thanks to the previous unbeaten streak of five matches.
In addition, the Tricky Trees are unbeaten at the City Ground since mid-September. In 22 rounds of match, Forest have collected 24 points from six victories and draws, which puts them in 14th position in the standings. The attack looks pretty weak - the team has delivered only 17 goals since the start of the season.
The hosts will be without Richards, Niakhate, McKenna, Kouyate, Henderson, Boly, Biancone.
Manchester City's 3-1 victory over Arsenal midweek suggests that they will make things difficult for the home team's defense. The Sky Blueshave taken the first place in the table, but it will be extremely difficult to hold onto that position as Arsenal have a game in hand over them.
In August, the City team defeated Forest 6-0. Today, Pep Guardiola's men will try to do something similar - the team has the best attack in the league with 59 goals in 23 games. Man City aim to become the second club in Premier League history to win three consecutive titles.
Mendy and Stones are out injured.
