Manchester City face a tricky test, it’s a good time to visit Stamford Bridge and will Pedro Porro get a second chance on Sunday?
With Arsenal travelling to Villa Park for Saturday’s early kick-off, Manchester City will have the opportunity to capitalise on any slip-up from Mikel Arteta’s side when they take on Nottingham Forest in what may, on paper, seem a fairly straightforward assignment at the City Ground. It is one they should not take lightly following their win at the Emirates, as Forest are unbeaten in seven league matches at home, taking 15 of the past 21 points available. City’s shortcomings are few and far between but before their win over Arsenal they had lost back-to-back matches on their league travels, the two defeats coming after another away loss at Southampton in the Carabao Cup. Any show of complacency after their statement midweek win could be brutally punished. Barry Glendenning
