Today, Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest will play Manchester City, and we’ve looked at a possible lineup for them.
If Forest hopes to maintain their Premier League standing for another season, they must begin winning football games.
With just four games left in the season to spare, Forest knows that this one won’t be easy.
The Reds must put last weekend’s 2-0 loss to Everton behind them and concentrate on today.
We’ve looked at how Forest might match up against the Citizens ahead of the matchup versus City.
Predicted lineup for Nottingham Forest versus Manchester City
As the Reds get ready to take on the defending champs today, Matz Sels will undoubtedly start the match in goal.
He’ll likely be pretty familiar with the back four in front of him from the match against Everton last week.
Neco Williams and Ola Aina, in our opinion, will both remain on the team and play full-back.
We believe Moussa Niakhate, who joined the team last week, will start alongside Murillo today.
We expect Ryan Yates to return to midfield, where he will probably lead the squad once more as captain.
Danilo is likely to start beside him because of his recent performance.
Chris Wood will probably lead the Forest line because Taiwo Awoniyi hasn’t returned to practice yet.
After coming off the bench against Everton last week, we expect Anthony Elanga to make his way back into the starting eleven behind him.
Callum Hudson-Odoi will likely operate on the left, while the former Manchester United player will probably play on the right.
It’s highly likely that Morgan Gibbs-White will start as the number 10 this afternoon.
Who else is vying to play Forest vs Manchester City?
Odysseas Vlachodimos won’t be returning to the squad, so Matt Turner will most likely fill in as the backup goalie.
With Awoniyi still out with an injury, Divock Origi and Rodrigo Ribeiro will cover for him at the other end of the field.
It seems anticipated that Nicolas Dominguez and Ibrahim Sangare will start on the bench in midfield.
With Willy Boly still down, there aren’t many choices available on defense.
With Harry Toffolo covering full-back, it will probably leave Andrew Omobamidele as the lone central defensive option.
