Confirmed Line-Ups: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City (Premier League)

Confirmed Line-Ups: Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City (Premier League) Enzo Maresca's side head to the City Ground on the back of a 3-2 Champions League win at RB Leipzig on Wednesday night, where an own goal from Castello Lukeba, a strike from Enzo Fernandez and a late Erling Haaland winner secured all three points. That victory followed a difficult spell in which Manchester City lost three of seven games in all competitions, with defeats to Aston Villa and Brighton and Hove Albion leaving them three points behind Arsenal , who went top after winning at Liverpool . Individual errors have been central to that run, with Matheus Nunes failing to clear for Yasin Ayari's winner against Brighton after Marc Guehi's loose touch and two goals slipping past Gianluigi Donnarumma proved costly at Villa Park, although Maresca has insisted that no player is undroppable at the club. In his pre-match press conference on Friday, Maresca also raised a fitness concern over Nico O'Reilly, who was left out of the England squad on Friday because of a back problem that has troubled the 21-year-old since the 1-0 win over Coventry City in early September. Antoine Semenyo remains sidelined with a knee injury and is expected back before the end of the year, whilst Josko Gvardiol was an unused substitute in Leipzig as Maresca kept one eye on the trip to the east Midlands. Oliver Glasner's Nottingham Forest sit second from bottom, with their only league win coming at Villa Park in September and no home goals scored at the City Ground in the Premier League this season. Nicolas Dominguez is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock, whilst Igor Jesus has been out with a calf injury since September and Nicolo Savona returned to training ahead of the fixture. Glasner has failed to win any of his five previous Premier League meetings with Manchester City , all of which came during his time in charge of Crystal Palace , losing four and drawing one. Starting XI: Donnarumma; Khusanov, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol; Anderson, Fernandez; Ndiaye, Cherki, Doku, Haaland Substitutes: Rulli, Kovacic, Reis, Nunes, Bouaddi, O'Reilly, Allan, Foden, Lewis
