Ryan Yates has now made a prediction ahead of the Premier League clash between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City next week.
The Garibaldi must deal with Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday before welcoming Pep Guardiola to the City Ground next Sunday.
Nottingham Forest need to avoid defeat on Merseyside to ensure the battle to avoid 18th place does not just end up being a fight with Luton Town – although Ryan Yates is already looking beyond Sunday’s clash.
So, what is the Nottingham Forest No.22 expecting to happen when Manchester City visit the City Ground? Let’s take a look…
Ryan Yates makes a prediction ahead of Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
Well, the Nottingham Forest academy graduate did not make an exact score prediction, but he is backing Nuno Espirito Santo’s side to take something off the treble winners.
Yates told BBC Radio Nottingham: “We have got a lot of winnable games coming up. We back ourselves to get something against Manchester City at the City Ground and we have more quality and belief than ever.”
It would be quite the result if Nottingham Forest could stop Manchester City winning next Sunday – to say the very least.
However, people said the same last season when Arsenal arrived at the City Ground with title dreams of their own, only to be sent back to north London with nothing after Nottingham Forest secured survival with a 1-0 win.
Therefore, anything is possible next Sunday.
One step at a time
We admires the confidence of Yates – who has been compared to Robbie Savage – ahead of what could well be Nottingham Forest’s hardest game of the season next Sunday.
However, the 26-year-old and his teammates need to stay in the moment, and take things game by game.
Three points against Manchester City hold the same value as three points against Everton, and given the fact Sean Dyche’s side are just one point and one place above Nottingham Forest, the clash at Goodison Park must be at the forefront of everyone’s mind right now at the City Ground.
