This is the Manchester City confirmed lineup for the FA Cup semi-final where they will take on fellow high-risers Nottingham Forest. This is a clash of two very different teams, one who has fallen from the top of the perch to a tighter European race, while the other went from relegation battlers to European Football hopefuls. This will also present a clash of ideologies with Pep Guardiola’s possession obsession facing Nuno Espirito Santo’s defensive, counter attacking focus.

Stefan Ortega starts in goal with a now familiar back line of Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, and Nico O’Reilly with Rico Lewis also starting to present a bit of a headache. Mateo Kovacic, Bernardo Silva, Savinho, Jack Grealish, and Omar Marmoush round out the lineup in the midfield and attacking spots.
Notable Changes
The big question will be where people are deployed. Nunes and O’Reilly have been the full backs recently but Lewis playing could easily push either one up to play alongsdie Kovacic. James McAtee, Ilkay Gundogam, and Kevin de Bruyne are dropped for some similar replacements with Marmoush likely moving into the role De Bruyne occupied agaisnt Aston Villa.
