Erling Haaland’s injury update and Pep Guardiola’s early Forest team news from Express.co.uk.

City put on a dominant performance at the Amex Stadium, with Kevin De Bruyne opening the scoring in just 17 minutes. Phil Foden then scored two quick goals before half-time, securing the win for City. Julian Alvarez added another goal in the second half. With this victory, Guardiola’s team is now just one point behind Arsenal in second place.

Despite having a game in hand, City must now win their remaining five games to retain their title. The recent performances of Foden and De Bruyne have been crucial for City, and the return of Haaland will further strengthen their chances of winning the Premier League. Haaland has been absent since the Champions League defeat to Real Madrid. City did not seem to have any new injury concerns after the match against Brighton.

To ensure the fitness of key players for the upcoming game against Forest, De Bruyne, Foden, Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker, and Rodri were substituted with at least 10 minutes left. Forest, their next opponent, will be eager to have their say in the title race, fueled by their recent grievances with VAR.
