Man City's next six Premier League fixtures compared to Arsenal, Liverpool FC and other rivals

Manchester City continued their impressive start to the Premier League season on Saturday afternoon with a hard-earned victory over Nottingham Forest.

It seemed the Blues were in for a straightforward day at the Etihad when Phil Foden and Erling Haaland had Pep Guardiola's men 2-0 up inside 14 minutes. However, a red card for Rodri shortly after the restart tested City's resolve.

A solid defensive display secured the three points for City and maintained their 100 per cent start to the Premier League season. Guardiola will not want his team to drop off and will be looking at the next fixtures on the horizon.
