Man City boss Pep Guardiola praises Nottingham Forest faithful ahead of City Ground trip

Pep Guardiola has heaped praise on Nottingham Forest and the supporters who pack the City Ground for home games.

The Man City boss has spoken to the media in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, where he also spoke about Steve Cooper and the work he has done at Forest both this season and last.

Forest host Guardiola's men at the City Ground on Saturday (3pm), as the league leaders look to put space between themselves and Arsenal at the top of the table.

Speaking ahead of the match, Guardiola said: "Arsenal have one game in hand. Nothing changed much. We're just thinking about Nottingham Forest.

"Momentum is when you win 10 games in a row, we haven't done that this season. Three games ago we lost at Tottenham. Momentum is tomorrow at 3pm we have to be ready to play against a team who has lost just one in six, a big crowd, a respected manager.

"When he took over Nottingham they were in a bad position now they've been promoted and doing really well. They relied on him [Cooper] in a tough moment earlier in the season and the form is there."

How do you think Forest should line up against Man City? Let us know in the comments section...
