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

Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed that he expects to have an identical squad available for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Manchester City at the Etihad.

The Tricky Trees welcomed Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson and Anthony Elanga back to the matchday squad in Saturday's 1-0 win over Ipswich Town, leaving Danilo (ankle) and Ibrahim Sangare (hamstring) as their only absentees.

Changes cannot be ruled out amid the quick turnaround, but one man who should be in no danger of ceding his spot is Chris Wood, whose ninth goal of the season from the penalty spot was the difference against the Tractor Boys.

The New Zealand international has now scored a joint-high 24 Premier League goals for Nottingham Forest, sharing the record with Bryan Roy, and he will enter a Garibaldi league of his own with another effort at the Etihad.

Wood could comprise part of an unaltered attacking quartet alongside Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jota Silva, the latter of whom was selected over Elanga on Saturday and justified his place by winning the penalty for Wood to convert.

Nicolas Dominguez may displace the recently-recovered Anderson to partner Ryan Yates in the midfield, though, and regular left-back Alex Moreno should also demote Nico Williams to the bench.

It should otherwise be as you were for Forest at the back, as Ola Aina, Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic guard Matz Sels as ever.

Nottingham Forest possible starting lineup:
Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Yates, Dominguez; Silva, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
