Manchester City have Round 6 of the Premier League coming up this weekend, and are in a good position to extend their lead, with an affordable match at home against Nottingham Forest, and two teams in pursuit, Arsenal. While Tottenham could take advantage of a direct showdown, Liverpool are also demanding rivals.

Josep Guardiola’s side have won five from five games, something they have not achieved since the Spanish manager’s first season at the Etihad Stadium. The champions have a two-point advantage over the aforementioned three chasers and will be facing Forest, who also have new faces, but will be looking to add to their cushion after a good start to the season.

Jack Grealish is ready to return from injury, while Bernardo Silva became the European champions’ latest significant casualty on his Champions League debut this week. However, City’s victory streak will continue for another week when they take on an eighth-placed Forest team.

Meanwhile, the London derby on Emirates looks attractive with both teams boasting confidence and good results. Mikel Arteta’s side remain on good terms, having almost ended a 20-year title drought in the league last year. The arrival of Kai Havertz is already good news for the Gunners, who want to remain number one contenders.

Spurs, who have Ange Postecoglou who seems well-suited to control, are confident of raising emotions next door with an impressive win against Sheffield. Meanwhile, Liverpool will face West Ham, who failed to beat Manchester City the previous day, aiming to stay out of Europe.

For two great teams like Manchester United and Chelsea, they needed to beat Burnley at home and Unai Emery’s Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge to avoid getting too close to the relegation zone. is already in dire straits.
