We think that The Citizens will possibly employ a 4-3-1-2 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Gianluigi Donnarumma, Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Marc Guehi, Rayan Ait Nouri, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, Antoine Semenyo and Omar Marmoush.

It’s our belief that The Reds seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Matz Sels, Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo, Neco Williams, Ibrahim Sangare, Elliot Anderson, Dan Ndoye, Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Igor Jesus.

🧠 Prediction

Nottingham Forest will be up against it to put one past a Manchester City outfit who look set to control this match, should everything go as we’re expecting.

We’re tipping a commanding 3-0 winning scoreline for Manchester City at the end of the game.
