While the title chatter may be over and done with, we aren't going anywhere just yet.

From one end of the Premier League table, we're heading to the other.

There were some significant results at the top, but maybe those at the bottom had even bigger implications in the grand scheme of things...

A positive result for West Ham and a big point for Nottingham Forest have piled huge pressure on Tottenham Hotspur, who host Crystal Palace this evening.

All of that to come and more as we make our way into Thursday afternoon.

That's your lot from the title chatter, for this week at least...

Arsenal move seven points in front of Manchester City at the summit following the midweek results and it didn't come without its drama.

Here are the top lines from the day so far:

• Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler slammed Arsenal for the tactics they deployed during Wednesday evening's game, stating he will "never be the kind of manager who tries to win that way" and claiming "fans want to see football not timewasting"
• Seagulls midfielder Pascal Gross also had a pop at the league leaders, echoing the thoughts of his manager
• While Mikel Arteta defended his players in his post-match news conference, sarcastically stating "what a surprise" when told about the comments from Hurzeler and Gross
• "Arsenal have elite mentality" claims former Liverpool midfielder, Danny Murphy
• Meanwhile, former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes Manchester City are "not the City of old"
• Should Man City have been awarded a penalty against Nottingham Forest? You can have your say in our poll
• And finally, the best of your reaction so far from a busy morning on the live page

Manchester City

Manchester City captain Bernardo Silva, speaking to TNT Sports about the penalty incident that didn't go their way: "We are used to this [happening] this season. All the 50-50s have gone against us.

"The Erling [Haaland] incident - for me it is a penalty. What can Erling do? This season we are used to it. We know how it works.

"Our job is to be better. These things we cannot control. What we can control is our own performances. That is what we must focus on."

On the Erling Haaland penalty appeal:

There is contact. Erling Haaland's leg hits Matz Sels' face here. I don't think just because there's contact it should be a penalty but some refs would've given it. I don't think it's a stonewall one, but I think if it was given, it wouldn't have been overturned.

As well, Man City are playing a team fighting relegation with all the quality they've got, they don't want to be relying on refereeing decisions. But I understand the disgruntlement around it.

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher, speaking on Sky Sports about whether Manchester City should've been awarded a penalty for Matz Sels' challenge on Erling Haaland: "As a forward, if I push the ball past the goalkeeper like that and the goalkeeper hits the man and doesn't get the ball, I would expect a penalty. The forward has pushed the ball away, the goalkeeper hasn't got it, he's gone to ground, he's got to get the ball, and he doesn't."

On why VAR didn't intervene: "I think their view is probably that Haaland has dragged his foot into him, but I don't see it like that, and that's my opinion."

Former Premier League forward Jay Bothroyd agreed with Gallagher, adding: "That's 100% a penalty. I'm not understanding why they haven't given that.

"Like Dermot said there, he's got the ball around the goalkeeper. I think the goalkeeper even knows. I think Haaland is even thinking 'I'm definitely getting a penalty here. He's taken me out'.

"I don't understand what they've seen."

On the Erling Haaland penalty appeal:

It was a penalty. Don't be so ridiculous. Brilliant pass from Rayan Cherki, Haaland arcs his run and Matz Sels takes him out. He takes him out. It's as simple as that.

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola refused to be drawn into conversation surrounding the penalty incident: "I spoke weeks ago about that subject.

"I always believe that we have to do it much better so the officials don't intervene. It's our responsibility to do it better, we don't have to rely on them.

"Nothing more to say, I said it in the past."

Manchester City

Erling Haaland had his chances in the game after returning to the starting line-up from an injury that kept him out of Manchester City's win at Leeds.

He managed to get in behind the Nottingham Forest defence in the first half, taking the ball around goalkeeper Matz Sels but firing into the side netting.

The Norway striker was presented with a similar chance in the second half while City were leading 2-1, but this time appeared to be caught by Sels.

Haaland put forward a strong appeal for a penalty but referee Darren England did not award a spot-kick and video assistant referee Tony Harrington decided not to overturn the decision.

I don't think many people would have seen that one coming tonight.

Forest have only won four away games all season.

A lot has been said about Manchester City, we all expect them to go on that run and they have the home game against Arsenal which is being held up as the pivotal game.

Actually they are not the City of old. We have seen that, we know there are chinks in their armour. They were on a great run, have an especially impressive home record, and you would have genuinely expected them to pick up the points.

Three or four weeks ago I was in the City camp for the title race, thinking Pep thrives at this moment of the season, he enjoys it, and his teams seem to kick on.

Both of them are competing in four competitions so there will still be twists and turns, but from an Arsenal point of view there are always questions as they haven't got it over the line and done it for so long. That finger will always be pointed and that question asked until they do it.

But, the questions they are being asked they are answering. Manchester City are stumbling at times.

Pep Guardiola was pretty blunt when asked what his Manchester City side could have done better against Nottingham Forest.

"Score goals" was his reply to BBC's Match of the Day.

"We did everything, we could do a little better, but it is what it is," he added

"In general there were many good things.

"I would like to concede fewer, but it's not about analysing one specific action.

"I never point fingers at my players.

"We did everything, had the chances at the end and in first half. The momentum. But something always happens and we could not win."

I thought it was an interesting game. Man City dominated it, and this will be a big blow for them.

It was a game of many chances at Etihad Stadium - Manchester City had 21 shots on goal, but only seven on target, while Nottingham Forest found the target with four of their nine efforts on goal.

The key difference can be found in the Expected Goals (xG).

City managed two goals from an xG of 2.18, while Forest out-performed theirs, also adding two goals from an xG of 0.97.

Interestingly, Morgan Gibbs-White's back heel had an xG of 0.33, while Elliot Anderson's second equaliser for Forest had an xG of 0.04.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have blinked first in the Premier League title run-in as they stumbled to a draw against Nottingham Forest.

City led twice through Antoine Semenyo and Rodri against relegation-threatened Forest but failed to see out the game and now lie seven behind leaders Arsenal.

Guardiola's men have a game in hand against Crystal Palace but this could be a gameweek where the momentum and belief swings in the direction of Mikel Arteta's men.

City had 70% possession and 21 shots but their inability to hold on to a lead could prove crucial come May, as they have now dropped a whopping 13 points from winning positions this season.

To be fair to Manchester City, there was very little they could do to stop Nottingham Forest's two goals.

The first came from a cheeky back heel from Morgan Gibbs-White - another example of the creativity and opportunism that has made the England midfielder a man in demand.

And Forest needed a moment of brilliance from Elliot Anderson - another in-demand England midfielder - to earn their point.

Anderson gave Gianluigi Donnarumma in the City goal no chance as he curled the ball into the bottom corner from the edge of the box with 15 minutes to play.

City still had plenty of chances to win the game - including a strong penalty shout from Erling Haaland and a close-range effort from Savinho with the final kick of the game that was cleared off the line.

But it just wasn't their night.
