| Four defeats for Forest in five matches and no home league goal this season put considerable pressure on the players. Glasner has publicly demanded a stronger response from his squad. However, their underlying chance creation suggests they are not as poor as their league position indicates. On the other hand, City have lost their last two Premier League matches against Aston Villa and Brighton, following an excellent start of seven consecutive league victories. Their 3-2 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig on Wednesday was important in any aspect. Manchester City should have more confidence after the European victory, but there are questions about their defensive consistency and their ability to maintain their early-season league dominance. |
