Manchester City faces Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday looking to get back to winning ways.
A defeat to Liverpool on the weekend extended Manchester City's run to seven games without a victory. Pep Guardiola's team last won back on Oct. 26 in a 1–0 victory at home over Southampton in the Premier League. Since then, the reigning champion was knocked out of the EFL Cup, dropped 12 points in the league and four in the Champions League. The side was expected to struggle in the wake of Rodri's season-ending knee injury, but this is a crisis.
Guardiola has to right the ship and fast. Manchester City trails Liverpool by 11 points for the top spot in the table and has to start rattling off positive results. Otherwise, it risks getting leapfrogged by its opponent on Wednesday.
Here's how Manchester City could line up against Nottingham Forest.
