Premier League Gameweek 35 set to be underway soon

Nottingham Forest seem to be losing steam in the relegation battle, sitting one point above the drop and with 1 win in their last 5 games. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo would be hoping to gain a point at best from this fixture, and avoid a thrashing at the worst.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have gathered steam at the back end of their season, setting up yet another FA Cup final where they would be defending the title against Manchester United. The Cityzens have 4 consecutive wins after a slight stumble, and thrashed Brighton 4-0 in their midweek match.

Players to watch:

Phil Foden (Manchester City)

While Manchester City have a squad full of stars, Phil Foden has shone the brightest this season, with 14 goals and 7 assists. At his best, the Englishman looks unstoppable, and is finally delivering on his complete potential this season.
