One of the major talking points ahead of Manchester City’s encounter with Nottingham Forest is the fitness of first-choice goalkeeper Ederson. The Brazilian international suffered a recurring groin injury during City’s 5-2 Premier League win over Crystal Palace and subsequently missed the victories over Everton and Aston Villa.

Although Erling Haaland remains injured, Emmanuel Rose breaks down why Manchester City still has the edge over their competition ahead of this FA Cup semifinal.
