Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that Nico O'Reilly is unavailable for their match against Nottingham Forest after the player "feeling uncomfortable" in training with a knock. Guardiola emphasized his team's focus on their own performance, stating: "We can only focus on ourselves for the rest of the games ... I don't know what is going to happen. Today is how we behave against Forest."
Guardiola also praised striker Haaland's impact but stressed the need for collective readiness: "Haaland has made an incredible impact since he arrived years ago. In the first quarter of this season he was outstanding. We need everyone. Everyone has to be ready." Other matches include Brighton v Arsenal and Newcastle v Manchester United.
