As Manchester City are set to face Nottingham Forest on Saturday, we have tried to call their predicted lineup.
After the treble-winners’ dominant 3-1 victory against Red Star Belgrade, we expect Pep Guardiola to make just two changes to his side.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest
In goal, Ederson Moraes is set to keep his place in our Manchester City predicted lineup against Nottingham Forest.
At right-back, Kyle Walker is expected to keep his place ahead of his side’s upcoming clash against Steve Cooper’s side.
Another name that slots straight into the side is Ruben Dias, who has started the season in exceptional fashion.
Nathan Ake is likely to start alongside the Portuguese international in our Manchester City predicted lineup.
At left-back, Josko Gvardiol could replace Sergio Gomez after his impressive showing against Red Star Belgrade.
In defensive midfield, Rodri is expected to retain his place in the side after he put in yet another masterclass on Tuesday.
Matheus Nunes, who was also in cracking touch in the Champions League looks set to keep his place against Nottingham Forest.
At right-wing, Phil Foden could start, with Pep Guardiola confirming on Tuesday that Bernardo Silva will be injured for a number of ‘weeks’ (via GOAL).
At left-wing, Jeremy Doku, branded as ‘exceptional’ by Txiki Begiristain could start after his electric start to life at the Etihad Stadium.
Julian Alvarez, who bagged a brilliant brace against Red Star Belgrade could well be the first name on the team sheet in the manner in which he has adapted into the No.10 role this season.
After back-to-back games in which Erling Haaland seems to not have worn his shooting boots, he will be in vengeful mood on Saturday.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodri, Nunes, Foden, Doku, Alvarez, Haaland
