Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Nottingham Forest could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Nottingham Forest are set to be without just one player for Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester City at the City Ground.

Backup goalkeeper Carlos Miguel remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, so Matz Sels is set to continue between the sticks. The Belgian saved the decisive spot kick in a 5-4 penalty-shootout triumph over Ipswich Town in the FA Cup fifth round on Monday.

Nuno Espirito Santo is expected to make changes to the side that beat Ipswich and recall some of his standout performers who have excelled in Forest's push for a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.

Centre-back Nikola Milenkovic and versatile full-back Neco Williams are set to replace Morato and Alex Moreno respectively and join Ola Aina and Murillo in a four-man defence.

Elliot Anderson is expected to start in centre-midfield and could be joined by either Danilo, Nicolas Dominguez or Ryan Yates, who scored a second-half equaliser against Ipswich that sent the contest to extra time.

Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi are both set to retain their places on the flanks, while Morgan Gibbs-White should be restored in the number 10 role behind top scorer Chris Wood, who has been involved in 11 goals in his last nine Premier League games (eight goals, three assists).

Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup: Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Danilo, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
