Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has said their remaining two away fixtures at Fulham and Tottenham will be “difficult.”

Guardiola was speaking after they beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 on Sunday.

The result keeps City one point behind leaders Arsenal, although they have one game in hand.

On the remainder of the season, Guardiola said: “Everything can happen, Liverpool have dropped points in the last few games but that can happen to us, can happen to Arsenal, so tough games for everyone. Fulham away and Spurs away will be difficult.

“I would prefer not to have a long week [off] and to play the Champions League semi final.

“But in the circumstances we have two or three days to recover and prepare for all the finals that we have.”
