Defender John Stones is an injury doubt and unlikely to feature.

Forest won three successive games before the November internationals, beating Crystal Palace 1-0, Leicester 3-1 and West Ham 3-0. The Reds then lost 3-1 against Newcastle and 3-0 at Arsenal.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s outfit got back to winning ways on Saturday, sealing a 1-0 win against Ipswich. Forest controlled the game with 1.77 XG and Chris Wood scored a penalty just after half time.

Midfielder Ibrahim Sangare and full-back Danilo won’t feature at the Etihad due to injury.

Chris Wood has scored nine goals in 12 Premier League starts this season. He is expected to lead the line on Wednesday.

Verdict

Man City v Nottm Forest

Man City are struggling defensively and Nottingham Forest rarely keep clean sheets on the road. There’s no reason to step off the goals markets in this Premier League encounter.
