Man City Starting XI vs Nottingham Forest: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup

Manchester City have named their starting XI for the upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on November 7. The team will be led by goalkeeper Enzo Maresca, who has opted to stick with his preferred choice despite the recent error by Gianluigi Donnarumma. Donnarumma is expected to remain in goal, despite the mistake in the 3-2 win over RB Leipzig.

In defense, Ruben Dias is expected to return to central defense, replacing the player who was brought on as a substitute against Leipzig. Jeremy Doku, who replaced Dias in the second half, is predicted to start the match in his place. Iliman Ndiaye is likely to continue playing on the opposite flank.

In midfield, Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez are expected to form the double pivot in a 4-2-3-1 system. Rayan Cherki has been confirmed as the first-choice no. 10. Erling Haaland will lead the attack, with the striker likely to be supported by another player after his unsuccessful effort against Brighton.

Nottingham Forest will be without Antoine Semenyo, who is out with a knee injury until December. The team might be short-handed, with O’Reilly listed as a doubt. The team is set to face Manchester City at 5:30 pm GMT on Saturday, November 7.
