"What a team Sean Dyche has made again. That's a really, really, really big three points [for us]. [Forest] are an incredible team, the way that they play, they do it unbelievably. They have a top-quality team. This team was in the Champions League but for one or two games last season, and now in European competitions. A fantastic team and tough place to come, and at winter time."
"We talked a lot about this in the last few days with the players. Winter time, at Nottingham Forest, you have to be there, there, there. If we are not ready, then we do not win that game. The mentality was unbelievable, so really pleased again for the guys. We have 18 games played, so we have now finished the first leg."
Manchester City secured a 2-1 Premier League win over Nottingham Forest after Rayan Cherki scored an 83rd-minute winner.

The victory moved City temporarily top of the table and marked a sixth straight win for Pep Guardiola's team. Guardiola warned players about festive overindulgence and said anyone failing to maintain weight could be left out of the squad. He selected an unchanged starting XI for the sixth successive match. Guardiola praised Forest's quality and warned of a tougher second half of the season.
