Manchester City heads to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, a Premier League fixture that will be the battle of 3rd place versus 4th place. However, it is still very surprising to see who is in third and who’s in fourth, for this match-up.
You would think the places would be switched up from where they are, and when this match is over, they very well could be.

The Tricky Trees are in a bit of a tailspin right now, and if they don’t come correct soon, they’ll fall out of the top four for good. City meanwhile remain up and down as they look to finish an injury-riddled season as strong as they can.
It hasn’t been so much the number of total injuries for Pep Guardiola’s squad as it has been the guys (who have been so key) who did get hurt. And of course how long those key guys have been/will be out too.
