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.

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.

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.
