Nottingham Forest vs. Man City live score, updates, highlights and ... (Sporting News)

Manchester City claimed a huge win away to Premier League title rivals Arsenal in midweek. Can Pep Guardiola's men build on that result in another game on ...

— City came through their win at Arsenal unscathed and England star John Stones (hamstring) is their only absentee for this clash. Their absences account for two of five changes overall, with Joe Worrall, Felipe, Jack Colback, Jonjo Shelvey, and Danilo the men to come in. 2 hours from kickoff: Hello and welcome to the Sporting News' live coverage of Nottingham Forest vs. 1 hr 40 mins from kickoff: Well, well, well. I feel, I see many things, I speak to staff, see training, see personal issues of players with problems at home, maybe they are satisfied about a win or sad because they don’t play. “I cannot go to sleep or wake up in the morning, have something inside of me visualising what the opponent can do and think: ‘The normal thing is play the starting XI that 89% of the people around the world say is the best.’,” he said. Prior to this match, the Manchester City manager gave some fascinating insights with regards to his thought processes after the decision to field Bernardo Silva as a hybrid right-back against Arsenal raised eyebrows. 58 mins from kickoff: And here's the Forest team. The likes of Brennan Johnson and Morgan Gibbs-White will certainly have their eye on that area of the field. The crowd at the City Ground are close to the pitch and Pep Guardiola's squad are warming up at the end of the ground where the away fans are stationed. Even Erling Haaland put a couple wide until Phil Foden and Ilkay Gundogan stopped the fun by firing past backup goalkeeper Scott Carson.

Man City held to frustrating 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest (USA TODAY)

Nottingham Forest delivered another twist in the English Premier League title race as Chris Wood's late goal earned a 1-1 draw against Manchester City.

The striker had another go from the second rebound but was even worse with that attempt, firing over from inside the six-yard box. City had beaten Arsenal 3-1 on Wednesday but handed the advantage right back. The draw means the Gunners are in first place with a two-point lead over City and a game in hand.

Walker: 'We have to do better' (Manchester City FC)

Kyle Walker has urged City to improve after being held to a 1-1 Premier League draw by Nottingham Forest.

"If we want to compete with teams near the top we need to win. "Sometimes it's football and sometimes it's emotion. [Erling Haaland](https://www.mancity.com/players/erling-haaland) and Ilkay [Gundogan](https://www.mancity.com/players/ilkay-gundogan) struck the woodwork whilst we were one up and Walker, who played the full 90 minutes, has called for improvement across the board.

How Manchester City wasted opportunity to put pressure on Arsenal (The Athletic)

Manchester City dominated their game against Nottingham Forest only to drop two points to a late goal.

“We (played with) the same energy in many things, win the duels, we made the process really well against a team that defends with nine or 10 players in the box. With Forest darting in, poor old [Rodri](https://theathletic.com/football/player/rodri-UhisEcoXihIhvXgn/) was reduced to impersonating a tree to avoid giving away a penalty. He possibly even made it worse by guiding [Brennan Johnson](https://theathletic.com/football/player/brennan-johnson-9AIBXsDwHYgM005c/) towards the City goal. [Bernardo Silva](https://theathletic.com/football/player/bernardo-silva-ggVYkgD9dgp7Qo28/)’s curious decision to pressurise his man out wide ensured he was taken out of the game easily. But what conclusions can be drawn about attitude and hunger when they fended off basically every counter-attack with aggressive, switched-on defending, controlled the game with smart passes and created a hatful of chances? Of course it was: City have conceded with their first shot on target in the last four games. So is there a pattern to this? The City bench were livid with the referee — Guardiola was booked — but it was Haaland who made the bad call. In fact, he fell over under the weight of the decision. “I thought we got away with it,” Forest boss Steve Cooper said about that one. “It was a brilliant performance,” Guardiola said, after congratulating Forest. On another day, those fireworks would have stayed in the box.

"It's one of the best games we played but we dropped two points. Bournemouth climbed out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 win at Wolves. There are many games still to play, we know it." Everton moved out of the relegation zone with a valuable 1-0 win against fellow strugglers Leeds at Goodison Park. Chelsea was booed off at full-time after a result that left them languishing in 10th place, with just two wins in their last 14 games in all competitions and none in their last five. With just minutes left at Villa Park, Mikel Arteta's side was in danger of slipping up again in their bid to win the title for the first time since 2004.

Arsenal Fans' 'Oil Money' Jibe At Manchester City Has Some Murky ... (Forbes)

Ahead of Arsenal's home game against Brentford the Clock End at the Emirates Stadium unfurled a black banner with white writing. 'Arsenal FC.

But Tebas, like the Arsenal fans, was othering. “You are talking the ethnicity, it's not true. Genuinely I am fascinated to know. “I think there’s something deeply wrong in bringing ethnicity into the conversation. “I think the way he is combining teams because of ethnicity. "I am not at all racist. I have no issues about ethnicity. That’s both ownership and sponsorship.” “This is a behavior that football fans commonly engage in, the latest episode of which was evident during a recent Arsenal game when fans unfurled a banner mocking Manchester City, its owners, and its fans.” “Most of us have been complicit in changes that have taken place in the game over the last thirty years, and no amount of othering can change this fact,” he continued. A lesser discussed aspect of the statement is the combination of the ‘oil money’ slur alongside the words “class and tradition.” Adding in a second Tweet: “For the avoidance of doubt, you can’t be against ‘oil money’ - whatever that’s meant to mean - in some contexts and not the other.
