Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest Team Formations, Predicted Starting Lineups & Possible Lineups today (XI)
Here are our Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest predictions of the team formations and starting 11 lineups for the Premier League 2023 today.
Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest Team Formations
Manchester City team formation (4-3-3)
The only player for Manchester City who is injured is defender John Stones, who is not anticipated to play this month as he continues to heal from a hamstring injury.
While Rico Lewis, Manuel Akanji, and Aymeric Laporte could all threaten Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, and Nathan Ake’s positions in defence on Saturday, Guardiola may decide to use Bernardo Silva as a makeshift left-back as he did against Nottingham Forest. A similar strategy may be used on Saturday.
Haaland, Grealish, and Riyad Mahrez are anticipated to remain in the attack along with Haaland, who scored one of his four Premier League hat-tricks against Forest earlier this season. Julian Alvarez is also a possibility after starting and scoring a brace in that same reverse match against Forest.
Rodri, De Bruyne, and Ilkay Gundogan are all expected to play in the centre of midfield, while Phil Foden and Kalvin Phillips, who came off the bench against Nottingham Forest last time, will be vying for starts.
Nottingham Forest team formation (4-3-3)
Scott McKenna and Willy Boly, a center-back duo for Nottingham Forest, were forced to leave the game against Fulham after just seven minutes due to hamstring injuries. They now join a crowded injury list that also includes Dean Henderson, Moussa Niakhate, Taiwo Awoniyi, Giuliano Biancone, Omar Richards, and Cheikhou Kouyate.
Ryan Yates, who has been sidelined for the last four games due to illness, may be able to make his return against Man City. Jesse Lingard, who has missed the last three games with a knee injury, is still questionable for this weekend.
In place of McKenna and Boly, January acquisition Felipe is expected to start alongside captain Joe Worrall at centre back. Jonjo Shelvey, who impressed as a substitute against Fulham, may also make his debut in midfield.
Chris Wood, who is on loan from Newcastle United, has not yet made an impression, but the New Zealander may stay in the attack with Morgan Gibbs-White and Brennan Johnson, who is in good form and has contributed to five goals in his previous five league games (three goals and two assists).
