Manchester City and Nottingham Forest have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of today’s FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. The FA Cup represents the only chance for Pep Guardiola’s side to claim silverware this season. But they’ll face a determined Nottingham Forest side who be eager to continue their impressive season.

It was reported yesterday that Rodri and Erling Haaland had trained with their teammates. But today’s match is likely to come too soon for the pair to feature at Wembley. Pep Guardiola also told the media on Friday that Ederson could take part in today’s match. But it appears more likely that the Brazilian international will return for City’s next Premier League fixture against Wolves at the Etihad.

Oscar Bobb, Nathan Ake and John Stones are all out of today’s match. Despite their absence, Pep Guardiola will have a strong squad to choose for today’s FA Cup semi-final.

Here are the starting lineups for today’s match at Wembley.
