Nottingham Forest will come up against “one of the biggest challenges in world club football” on Wednesday night.
Boss Steve Cooper knows the Reds will be in for a tough test when they travel to reigning champions Manchester City for the midweek clash. But he still wants his team to retain their identity and believe they can get a result.
That was the approach Forest took against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, with the hosts taking the game to their heavyweight opponents. It is a way of playing which Cooper has instilled ever since he took charge at the City Ground almost a year ago.
