Nottingham Forest vs Man City Lineups: Foden Out, Haaland on Bench

Team News

Manchester City will be without Erling Haaland and Phil Foden for their trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Haaland is still recovering from a foot injury, while Foden is out with a knock.

In Haaland's absence, Julian Alvarez is expected to lead the line for City. The Argentine has impressed in his limited opportunities this season, scoring three goals in four appearances.

Foden's absence is a blow to City's attacking options. The England international has been in excellent form this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists in four Premier League games.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest are likely to field an unchanged side from the one that beat Fulham last weekend. That means Taiwo Awoniyi and Brennan Johnson will lead the line, with Jesse Lingard playing in support.

Forest have won just one of their last nine Premier League games, but they will be confident of causing City problems at the City Ground.

Manchester City

Manchester City are expected to make a number of changes to the side that beat Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in midweek. Joao Cancelo, Rodri and Bernardo Silva are all expected to come into the side.

City will be looking to continue their perfect start to the Premier League season. They have won all four of their games so far, scoring 13 goals and conceding just one.
