Blunt City threatens CL Hopes
Nottingham Forest is very large creditable for its defensive performance. Manchester City is not the first side to struggle to break this season. But Guardiola will worry in the list of his attack.

Guardiola said that his pre-match press conference will not end the world by failing to qualify for the Champions League. The issue of their side, along with the attack -in defense, suggests that it is a reality that they may have to face yet.
