Man City Squad Update: Haaland Returns, Foden Out

Line-Ups for Nottingham Forest Clash

Manchester City:

• Ederson • Walker • Akanji • Dias • Ake • Rodri • De Bruyne • Bernardo • Grealish • Haaland • Mahrez

Nottingham Forest:

• Hennessey • Williams • Felipe • McKenna • Toffolo • Mangala • Freuler • Yates • Scarpa • Johnson • Gibbs-White

Manchester City could move back into first place in the Premier League standings when they travel to Nottingham Forest for a highly anticipated clash. The Citizens are just two points behind Arsenal, who lost to Everton on Saturday.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has made two changes to his side from the team that beat Bournemouth in the midweek Carabao Cup quarter-final. Foden drops out of the starting XI, with Haaland returning after a short injury layoff.

Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper has also made two changes from the team that lost to Everton last weekend. Yates and Scarpa come into the side, replacing Dennis and Lingard.

The match is set to be a close and competitive affair, with both teams desperate for three points. Manchester City will be looking to Haaland to lead the line and inspire them to victory, while Nottingham Forest will be hoping to take advantage of a rare home game against a top-six opponent to earn a valuable win.
