I saw Man City make two subtle changes to pre-match routine to stop losing run - it worked instantly

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Manchester City have won a game of football. In normal circumstances, that wouldn't be a shocking sentence - yet here we are and the team who turned winning into a normality had suddenly stopped doing exactly that.

Six losses in seven had sent the Etihad into crisis mode - according to the outside world at least - so this visit of Nottingham Forest had turned into a must-win for City.

And win they did, thanks to the returning Kevin De Bruyne, starting his first game since September and recording a goal and assist in the first half.

Jeremy Doku netted a deserved third goal and City held onto this lead to get back to winning ways after 40 days.
