Nottingham Forest against Manchester City Live: team messages and constellations from the FA Cup semi-final

Nuno Espirito Santo has taken a courageous step to bring 18-year-old Zach Abbott to the starting line-up, with the teenager only his third senior appearance and was the first since August.

He is injured in an exhausted defense with Ola Aina and suspended both Ryan Yates and Nico Williams.

Abbott played only one game this season, a defeat against Newcastle in August.

What an occasion for the boy boy in a FA Cup semi-final in Wembley.

Manchester City was 2-1 winner over Bournemouth in the quarterfinals, after he had previously defeated the championship kobhugler Plymouth Argyle-and the Liverpool was memorable out of the trophy from the trophy-3: 1.

They started their campaign with an 8-0 battle of Salford City, but from there they had a hard fight that came back 1-0 in the next three games. In the fourth round they received a fear of Leyton Orient, who ultimately won 2-1.

Forest had to dig deep to reach the semi -finals and made the story as the first team that won three penalty shootouts in the same campaign in the competition.

The Nuno Espirito Santo team won 4: 3 in the quarterfinals of the competition in Brighton, after overcome in earlier rounds of Ipswich Town (5: 4), Exeter City (4: 2) and Luton Town (2: 0).

Pep Guardiola made three changes to the city 2-1 against Aston Villa this week in the Premier League.

Jack Grialish, Rico Lewis and Savinho all come into the starting line -up, with Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and James Mcateee getting out, the latter lacking the squad completely through suspension.

Nuno Espirito Santo made two changes before the top victory against Tottenham Hotspur a week. 18-year-old Zach Abbott and Callum Hudson-Odoi start, and Abbott celebrated his full forest debut.

Anthony Elanga is on the bench, while Neco Williams is suspended in the quarter -finals after a booking against Brighton.

Matheus Nunes was the unlikely hero in Manchester when he broke the dead end against Aston Villa and fired a victory in added time.

Quick memory of the last trip for each of today’s semi -finalists: Nottingham Forest, who defeated Tottenham in the top class last weekend. Chris Wood ended a drought of seven games and Elliott Anderson, also on the player, when they won 2-1, with a late Richarlison squad to bring Spurs back into play.
