Nottingham Forest Form


Nottingham Forest started their FA Cup campaign with a 2-0 win over Luton. Forest drew their next three against Exeter 2-2, Ipswich 1-1 and Brighton 0-0 and progressed on penalties.

The Reds beat Man United 1-0 after the Brighton cup draw, before losing 2-1 at Aston Villa and 1-0 against Everton.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s team bounced back with a 2-1 victory at Tottenham. Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood scored in the opening 15 minutes and Forest conceded late. 

Nottingham Forest Injuries


Defender Ola Aina, winger Jota Silva and midfielder Eric da Silva Moreira are unavailable due to injury. 

Man City Form 


Man City reached a seventh consecutive FA Cup semi-final by notching a 2-1 comeback win at Bournemouth.

That cup triumph came during the Citizens' current seven-match unbeaten streak, including five wins. City have won three consecutive games, defeating Crystal Palace 5-2 and Everton 2-0.

Pep Guardiola’s outfit continued their strong run of form with a 2-1 home win against Aston Villa. Bernardo Silva struck early and City conceded in the first half before Matheus Nunes struck in the 93rd minute. 

Man City Injuries


Striker Erling Haaland and midfielder Rodri are out with long-term injuries.

Defenders John Stones and Nathan Aké and goalkeeper Ederson won’t feature due to injury. 

Verdict

Nottingham Forest weren’t convincing in earlier rounds of the FA Cup and City are back to their best. The Citizens are tipped to beat Forest and reach a third consecutive FA Cup final.
