How Man City should line up vs Nottingham Forest in the Premier League

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester City can build on their Premier League win over Arsenal as they travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. City returned to the top of the table with their 3-1 win over Arsenal on Wednesday, although the Gunners have a game in hand.

Mikel Arteta's side play first on Saturday as they take on Aston Villa, so can go back to first place ahead of the game at the City Ground - or any dropped points by Arsenal would give City a huge opportunity themselves.

John Stones won't be ready in time for the Forest trip, and Pep Guardiola may use the fixture to rotate his side ahead of next week's trip to RB Leipzig in the Champions League last-16 first leg.

Players like Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez and Kalvin Phillips may hope to return.
