BREAKING: Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest Premier League Match today CANCELLED due to … See more
Kevin De Bruyne and Stefan Ortega both left for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this evening.
Manchester City are seven games without a win in all competitions, with Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Liverpool condemning them to a fourth successive league defeat.
They have also failed to score in their last two Premier League games and are woefully out of form defensively, having conceded 19 goals since their last clean sheet over a month ago against Southampton.
In a bid to revive his team at both ends of the pitch, Pep Guardiola has kept faith with Ortega rather than recalling Ederson despite the goalkeeper’s penalty at Anfield.
Meanwhile, Kyle Walker is rested, with Manuel Akanji starting at right-back, with Rico Lewis also among the substitutes.
Josko Guardiol also returned to the team after not playing against Liverpool. As mentioned above, De Bruyne starts alongside Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan in midfield, while Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish have been selected to provide support for Erling Haaland on the wings.
