(Reuters) - Manchester City do not have momentum in the Premier League title race, despite beating rivals Arsenal earlier this week and leapfrogging them into top spot, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday.
City produced a commanding second-half display at the Emirates this week to record an 11th successive league win over Arsenal and move into first place on goal difference.
The Spanish manager urged his side to be cautious against 14th-placed Forest, who are unbeaten in their last seven league games at the City Ground."They are playing at home with the crowd and I have a lot of respect for the manager -- for what he has done this season." "They can do better -- that would be the best word. I know the demand we will have ahead of us to the end of the season against tough and aggressive opponents. We need the players who have the feeling that we can do better," Guardiola said.
