Manchester City, currently in second place in the Premier League table, aims to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal. Their recent form has been strong, with several consecutive wins in all competitions. The expected return of Erling Haaland will further strengthen their attacking options.
Nottingham Forest, positioned just above the relegation zone, will be looking to cause an upset at the Etihad. However, their away form against City has been poor, and they have struggled to score goals in those matches. New manager Vítor Pereira faces a tough challenge in turning their fortunes around.
Predicted Lineups:
•Man City (4-2-2-2):: Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Guéhi, Aït-Nouri; Silva, Rodri; Cherki, Foden; Semenyo, Haaland.
•Nott’m Forest (4-2-3-1):: Sels; Aina, Milenković, Murillo, Netz; Sangaré, Anderson; Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Jesus.
