Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola will address the media this afternoon ahead Wednesday night's clash with Nottingham Forest.
City continued to put pressure on leaders Arsenal with a 1-0 victory at Leeds United on Saturday. Antoine Semenyo scored the only goal at Elland Road and his sixth for the Blues.
Arsenal's win over Chelsea restored a five-point advantage on Sunday but City still hold a game in hand. Erling Haaland missed the trip to Leeds due to a minor injury and Guardiola should provide an update on his fitness later.
Nico O'Reilly started against Leeds but was substituted with 20 minutes remaining. Guardiola confirmed he had taken a knock to his ankle but it is unclear if he will be fit for Forest.
Guardiola is also likely to field further questions on the title race with just 10 games remaining this season.

Hello!
Good morning and welcome to the Guardiola press conference blog ahead of the visit from Nottingham Forest tomorrow night. The Blues are looking at the final stretch of the season and their 1-0 win over Leeds was crucial as they look to keep pace with Arsenal.
Guardiola will hope he can provide positive fitness updates on Haaland and O'Reilly this afternoon. Haaland did not travel to Leeds due to an injury while O'Reilly picked up a knock to his ankle in the second half making him a doubt. The title race is likely to be on the agenda again this afternoon after Arsenal responded with a victory on Sunday. Whether Guardiola will entertain that conversation remains to be seen...
Stay tuned for updates...
