  In theory this is a non starter and you just want to keep the score line decent..... However Forest are in the same position as us and fought hard for a point two weeks ago, so there is no reason we can't do the same.
  
  In our favour City have pressure now as Arsenal are in danger of putting distance between them and they have also had a hard match last night, not confident in any way but I do retain a little hope.

  If we play like Real Madrid, we should have no problem 😊

  Pity poor Pep
  
  He's got us in the league on Saturday, Real Madrid again on Tuesday with a 3 goal deficit, next Sunday he's got Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final and then after the international break he's got Liverpool in the FA Cup quarters
  
  He said he hasn't entirely given up hope of beating Real Madrid but has admitted it is a big ask. So the question is who does he put out?
  
  He's shuffled the pack over the last three games
  
  v Forest
  Donnarumma
  Nunes Dias Guehi Ait-Nouri
  Rodri
  Foden Silva Cherki
  Haaland Semenyo
  
  v Newcastle
  Trafford
  Nunes Stones Khusanov Ake
  Gonzalez O’Reilly
  Savinho Reijinders Doku
  Marmoush
  
  v Real Madrid
  Donnarumma
  Khusanov Dias Guehi O’Reilly
  Rodri
  Savinho Silva Doku
  Haaland Semenyo
  
  At half time Reijinders replaced Savinho who hasn't played a full 90 minutes since returning from injury
  
  Cherki and Ait Nouri replaced Semenyo and Silva after 70 minutes while Haaland wasn't replaced by Marmoush until the 82nd minute. Stones, Ake, Gonzalez, Nunes and Foden stayed on the bench
  
  To be honest the City B team would be better than most Premier League A teams so probably doesn't matter
  
  We've lost the last two home games against city 3-1, the time before than 3-0
  
  A goal would be nice...

  It looks like Summerville is out so I suspect that Traore will be given the chance to shine in his stead, the trouble is………..
  
  I hope I am pleasantly surprised

  Nuno said in his presser that Summerville is definitely out, although it didn't sound as though it's something long term; "We'll assess him day by day", so hopefully he'll be back soon 🤞🤞🤞.

  Will Nuno be adventurous or go defensive in hoping to take a point. Forest took a point off City, we can do the same. Need Mavropanos for the aerial threat of Haaland. It could be:
  Hermansen
  AWB Mavropanos Disasi Diouf
  Soucek Fernandes
  Bowen Pablo Traore
  Castellanos
  The problem is that Traore often neglects defensive duties. Will Nuno draft an additional midfielder?
