City will be out to stop the rot

The Festive Season is on its way and there's good news for TAB soccer customers because there are cash-added pools aplenty, starting with a carryover Soccer 13 pot tonight and continuing through the weekend with a R250,000 carryover Soccer Any 13 Xtra and five cash-added bets including two mega Soccer 10s.

Can it get any worse for Manchester City? That's the question to be answered tonight when they host Nottingham Forest, looking to end a run of four successive league defeats and seven matches without a win.

It is now well documented that this is Pep Guardiola's worst run of form since taking over as Manchester City manager and that there is a major crisis of confidence in their ranks.

Their hopes of holding onto their league title are effectively over, having slipped down to fifth in the English Premier League standings, 11 points behind Liverpool, who gave them a relatively comprehensive beating last Sunday, even if the score was a respectable 2-0.

City are at home tonight and ordinarily would be a banker bet to win, but given their current run, anything is possible.
