Pep Guardiola press conference LIVE Man City vs Nottingham Forest team news and transfer updates

Pep Guardiola could offer an injury update on three Manchester City players ahead of the Premier League visit of Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

City were without Nathan Ake, Kalvin Phillips and Jack Grealish for the comeback win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, with Aymeric Laporte also a longer-term injury concern. Guardiola may provide fresh updates on the trio, who would all hope to face newly-promoted Forest if they were fit.

Guardiola may also offer an insight into his rotation plans against Forest, with the return of midweek games and the Champions League beginning next week. And with the transfer window closing on Thursday, Guardiola is likely to be asked about any remaining transfer activity at City, even though he was clear last week that Bernardo Silva will definitely be staying at the club.

Also among potential talking points is the news today that Bournemouth manager Scott Parker has been sacked after they lost 9-0 vs Liverpool, having previously been beaten 4-0 at City.

This is the team news we know so far:

After a relatively relaxed start to the season, Manchester City's real campaign begins this week as the fixture list starts to look more familiar with the return of midweek fixtures.

Ignoring the friendly in Barcelona last week, City have had four Premier League fixtures in four weeks, giving Pep Guardiola chance to rest his players and play a full-strength side in each game, as well as getting valuable time to work on tactics on the training ground. Now, Wednesday's game against Nottingham Forest is the first of six games in 18 days before the September international break, offering a quick return to a familiar schedule of three days
