Nottingham Forest (A) - Sat 18th Feb, 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

What are you talking about, Forest defence has been decimated through injury, we should and will get the 3 points, Villa Park is totally different for the Arse it’s a much tougher game, with an ex manager there and Arse out of form, so I don’t know why you’re so confident in them claiming the 3 points.

Forest have had a decent run of form and have a good home record. They’ve had the week off, we played Wednesday, they’ve had all week to plan for us, we may have an eye on Leipzig.

We are no doubt a much better side and if we play as we can we should win, however you could say the same about Spurs away, Villa away or Brentford at home. We need to keep our standards up and make sure their makeshift defence has a torrid afternoon.

Well, he said
"I’d expect Arsenal to be top by the time we kick off."

Let it be 1 point and both of you are right ;)

Ok fair enough mate, we all see it differently.

I think Pep will rotate in this game. He has been doing it all season in preparation for this busy time in the season. An away CL match in midweek, he will rotate.

I have the unenviable task of taking the local Forrest supporters ( Grantham Branch) to the ground but I shall be wearing my Manchester City top, I wish I could have got a ticket to the game but sadly not to be. Still when we win I shall be grinning like a Cheshire Cat!!

This game is bigger than the CL one. We can afford a draw in CL but not in this one.

Wouldnt like to see any rotation apart from Foden. We have Arsenal shitting it, keep our foot on their throats and dont let the rags have a sniff either.

Arr ok. That changes the landscape. Maybe 3 or 4 changes, then put them back in for the CL. Personally, I'd prefer to go stronger for league.

Same here.
Beating the mighty Arse at their gaff on Wednesday, and getting back into that ‘right in their faces‘ contention, hit my psyche like the smell of blood to an old war horse - I want this league title more than ever now.
Plus the fact that the rags are in contention for a change so the sooner we can pull away and they’re out of it the better.
