Manchester City
Manchester City will be without Rodri, John Stones, Oscar Bobb, and Mateo Kovacic for this fixture. The only positive out of their game against Liverpool was the return of Jeremy Doku, who could now have a bigger role against Nottingham Forest.
In what was a massive surprise for all, Stefan Ortega started ahead of Ederson Moraes in their last outing. However, the Brazilian international is expected to return between the sticks for this one.
Manchester City will line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation against Nottingham Forest, with Rico Lewis and Josko Gvardiol on the flanks. Ruben Dias and Manuel Akanji will pair up in the heart of the defence. The back four will be looking to keep a clean sheet.
The defenders will receive significant support from Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan, who will form the double pivot in midfield. They will shield the backline and look to dictate the tempo of the game. Jack Grealish could be handed the opportunity to play in a number ten role, with Savinho and Doku on the flanks. Star striker Erling Haaland will continue to lead the line.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Lewis, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Bernardo Silva, Gundogan; Savinho, Grealish, Doku; Haaland
Nottingham
Nuno Espirito Santo will be without the services of Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare. Apart from the duo, everyone else is fully fit to take part in this fixture. Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga returned to the matchday squad last time out and could have a bigger involvement here.
Nottingham Forest will also line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, where Matz Sels will be an automatic pick between the sticks. Ola Aina and Alex Moreno will be the full-backs, with Nikola Milenkovic and Murillo combining in the heart of the defence.
As for the midfield unit, Ryan Yates should partner Nicolas Dominguez in the centre of the park. They will look to ensure that the Manchester City midfielders do not end up dominating the proceedings.
Jota Silva and Callum Hudson-Odoi will provide width to their attacks, while Morgan Gibbs-White will take up the number ten role. Chris Wood, who has been in red-hot form, will continue to lead the line for Nottingham Forest against Manchester City.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Dominguez; Jota Silva, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Nottingham Forest
