Pep Guardiola’s side visit the City Ground for a 16:30 (UK) kick-off on Sunday 28 April aiming to extend our unbeaten league streak to 19 straight matches.
We enter the fixture buoyed by our superb 4-0 victory away at Brighton last time out where goals from Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden (two) and Julian Alvarez helped us to the success.
But against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side who are looking to bolster their survival hopes with three points, we’ll need to be at our best to triumph against the two-time European Champions.
In September’s reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium, first-half goals from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland helped 10-man City to a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
Who is the Scout backing to record precious FPL points ahead of Saturday 27 April’s 11:00 (UK) deadline?

CITY STAR
Kevin De Bruyne (£10.2m) looks a must-have ahead of a trip to Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League.
In only 13 Premier League appearances this season, he has created 42 chances - one every 18 minutes.
For context, from players with a minimum of 10 appearances, the next best is Pascal Gross (£6.2m) with one every 29.
Only Mohamed Salah (£13.6m) and Son Heung-min (£9.8m) have created more Big Chances than the Belgian’s 15, despite having played 27 and 29 times respectively.
His away form is also impressive, with 33 points from his last three matches. He faces a Forest side with one clean sheet in 23 matches.
ONE TO WATCH
Morgan Gibbs White (£5.7m) is Forest’s danger man. He has four returns in six matches, including a goal or an assist in each of his last three home appearances.
DIFFERENTIALS
Elsewhere, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak (£9.0m) and Spurs’ Timo Werner (£6.3m) are low-owned assets who both have good fixtures in Gameweek 35.
Isak is in superb form. The Newcastle forward has seven goals and an assist in six matches and plays Sheffield United’s league-worst defence.
Meanwhile, Werner and Spurs have two fixtures with the forward returning four attacking returns since Gameweek 27.
