MADRID, 22 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Manchester City has a sixth Premier League matchday this weekend that is conducive to increasing its lead, with an affordable duel at home against Nottingham Forest to take advantage of the direct clash between two of its pursuers, Arsenal and Tottenham, while the Liverpool also has a demanding rival.
Pep Guardiola’s men have five wins in five games, something they had not achieved since the Spanish coach’s first season at the Etihad Stadium. The champion has two points of advantage over the three aforementioned pursuers and against a Forest again with new faces but with a good start to the campaign, they hope to increase the cushion.
Jack Grealish is ready to return after injury while Bernardo Silva became the new significant casualty for the European champion in his debut this week in the Champions League. However, City’s triumphant march continues with all the numbers to continue for another week against a Forest team that is eighth.
Meanwhile, the London derby at the Emirates looks attractive between two teams with confidence and good results. Mikel Arteta’s men maintain the good line that last year came close to ending a 20-year drought of titles in the League. The incorporation of Kai Havertz is already good news for the Gunners who want to continue being number one candidate.
The ‘Spurs’, with Ange Postecoglou who seems well suited to the controls, come from an epic victory against Sheffield and are confident in the emotional boost at their neighbor’s house. On the other hand, Liverpool face a West Ham team that was unable to beat Manchester City the previous day and will try not to drop out of the European zone.
For two ‘big players’ like Manchester United and Chelsea, the day is already urgent, forced to beat Burnley at home and Unai Emery’s Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge to avoid looking too close to the relegation places.
