With the defensive solidarity of Milenković and Murillo, the rampaging runs of Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga and finishing of Chris Wood, Forest are capable of greatness. They are one of only two side to have beaten Liverpool and they thumped Brighton 7-0 in February.

The experience the club and the players have gained could prove to be an advantage against a Forest side who haven't been in the FA Cup semi-finals since 1991, when they lost to Tottenham in the final. Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo reached the last four with Wolves in the 2018/19 season but lost out to Watford.

Man City face Nottingham Forest at Wembley on Sunday, with a place in the FA Cup final on the line. However, that trophy is all City can salvage from what has been a hugely frustrating season for Guardiola, whose team are battling for Champions League qualification but have been well off the pace in the Premier League title race.
