Crystal Palace booked their place in the final with an impressive 3-0 win against Aston Villa on Saturday.

Forest beat Pep Guardiola’s side at the City Ground last month, are targeting Champions League qualification under Nuno Espirito Santo and are eyeing a trophy.
Date, kick-off time and venue
The match will take place at Wembley Stadium.

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City team news
Forest will be without key duo Ryan Yates and Neco Williams because of suspension. Ola Aina is a massive doubt with a calf problem that has sidelined the defender since the 1-0 win over Manchester United at the beginning of the month.
No fresh injury concerns have been reported following the last-gasp 2-1 win over Aston Villa in midweek – a match that saw Manuel Akanji make his comeback – so John Stones and Nathan Ake remain sidelined.
Doubtful: Ederson

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City prediction
It would not be a surprise if the game follows a pattern where Man City dominate possession for large spells and Forest soak up the pressure and look to hit on the counter. This tactic worked to perfection in the league meeting not so long ago with Callum Hudson-Odoi netting a late winner.
However, Wembley is a much bigger pitch and the fact that Guardiola’s side are more used to this occasion could prove decisive. It will be a tight encounter with City winning, but only just.
