00:00 It is really tight at the top of the table.
00:02 LAUGHTER
00:04 A point ahead of Manchester City, two points ahead of Arsenal at the moment,
00:07 obviously you go first again this weekend.
00:09 How difficult a task is it down at Forest?
00:12 Because I suppose in some ways it was a warning sign from what happened last season,
00:16 but at the same time there's been a change of manager,
00:18 so I just wonder as well what difference you see in Forest under Nuna.
00:21 I would say Nottingham is a great place to play,
00:28 but a difficult one as well it was, and will be tomorrow.
00:33 That's how it is, the situation Nottingham is in,
00:35 they have a similar situation to us, they need to win football games to reach their target,
00:44 and as much as we can, as much as they can, waste games or time.
00:50 So that's the opponent we expect.
00:53 We have made a few changes for the last game,
00:59 I think Watson-Odoi didn't start, not sure if it was interesting,
01:04 but he came on so probably not.
01:07 So we probably roughly know who we will expect, have to expect,
01:13 and besides that we have just in a moment preparation,
01:17 yes, of course we look at the opponent and do the analysis, it's clear,
01:22 but it's a real task for us to find out how we can line up with all the games played.
01:32 So that's why it's always about us before football games,
01:39 because we want to demand different things in the game,
01:43 but this time a little bit more than in others,
01:46 and when we find that we can talk about all the rest.
01:49 But it will be a tough, tough challenge, it's 100 per cent clear, you could see.
01:54 Newcastle, Aston Villa, even Arsenal, it was not easy for none of them,
02:02 that's clear, especially the counter-attacking threat they are.
02:07 That's massive, with Ioni and Elanga, Giff's right,
02:18 and Odds-on-Doyle or Divock, that speed, they can be direct,
02:24 they set it up a little bit like that, protection is massive for us that day,
02:28 if we try to control the game we have to make sure
02:31 that we really control that part of the game as well.
02:34 So that's how football is, and yeah, looking forward to it.
02:39 We want to play the game, happy to do it there, great atmosphere definitely,
02:44 so yeah, let's give it a go.
