Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest Team News

The major talking point for the home side is the fitness of Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker, who recently became the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals, missed the Leeds fixture with a knock but has returned to light training. Guardiola has remained coy on his inclusion, stating a decision will be made following a late fitness test.
