Manchester City

On Nuno Espirito Santo and what he has done at Nottingham Forest this season, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said: "It is quite simple. When you’re third in the table with 11 games left it is because you have done really, really well. It’s impressive.

"They defend really well, are compact and aggressive. The players up front create many things. Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Elanga are exceptional players.

"Ola Aina is an exceptional player. He can play on both sides. Elliott Anderson is physical and a top player as well."

On Forest being a threat to City for a Champions League place: "There are many different clubs fighting for this target. Everyone wants to be in the Champions League next season for many reasons.

"If it doesn’t happen for us then it’s because we haven’t been good enough and the other teams deserve it."

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola had a very short reply to Jack Grealish catching attention again this week at a social club: "He’s so famous. People follow him.

"I have nothing to comment."

Manchester City

On whether the pressure on Manchester City feels any different to the previous seasons because they are not in realistic contention for the title, Pep Guardiola said: "Pressure is always there in big clubs. You have to pressure yourself to do your best no matter what you’re playing for.

"It’s different, but the reality is that we try to finish in the top four. Tomorrow we have an opportunity to climb and help secure this target."

Nathan Ake faces a fight to play domestic football for Manchester City again this season - 11 weeks takes us to the final Sunday of the campaign.

However, he should be fit for the Netherlands' Nations League semi-final and final in June, if they get there, followed by City’s Club World Cup campaign in the United States.

"He's fine. He's been disappointed because he's missed games with injury, but he's worked hard and trained well this week. I've found him no problem whatsoever. The other stuff is out of my hands, but with us he's been really good.

"He's been with the group and given everything in the games he's played. He's done everything he needs to do and he's available again.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraolaon Ryan Christie's fitness: "I think it's something chronic. He is dealing with some pain and I think it's a situation that we will have to manage day by day. I'm not ruling him out but also I trust Ryan a lot - he knows his body. It's not an easy situation to deal with during the season. Probably he needs some rest but obviously he wants to continue playing and this is a situation we have to continue dealing with."

We are waiting for Pep Guardiola to speak to the media ahead of Manchester City's trip to Nottingham Forest tomorrow lunchtime.

It is a crucial game for City's chances of finishing in the top four but given they are out of the Champions League and have no chance of retaining the Premier League, it feels like a weird time at the club.

Guardiola is likely to be asked for an update on Nathan Ake, who had foot surgery earlier this week.

Manchester United

On Mikel Arteta making big decisions and making Arsenal a ‘big force again’ and the parallels to what he is trying to achieve at Manchester United, Ruben Amorim said: "I will not have the time that [Mikel] Arteta had. I feel that it is a different club in that aspect.

"People have the right to protest, it is a good thing to do that. It is part of our club, and everybody has a voice, but my job is to improve the team and give them something in this moment because they deserve it and they’re amazing."

The '1958' protest group of Manchester United fans has called on supporters to voice their opposition to the way the club is being run by wearing black and joining a protest march before Sunday's Premier League game with Arsenal at Old Trafford.
