Pep Guardiola gives verdict on Fulham's viral kite video ahead of Man City fixture

Pep Guardiola insisted Fulham will be at their best against Manchester City on Saturday despite them recently showing a light-hearted approach to training.

With Arsenal fans praying for a favour from one of their London neighbours this weekend, videos taken by striker Raul Jimenez of the west Londoners flying kites at their training ground went viral, with City fans delighted at Fulham's preparations for facing Guardiola's side.

Marco Silva's side have little to play for in the league, having confirmed their place in next season's Premier League and missed out on European qualification. They currently lie 13th in the table.

However, Guardiola spoke of his admiration for the work Silva has done ahead of their meeting and has no doubts that City will face a tough test. It seems that if there are any players tempted to take it easy at Craven Cottage, the City coach will soon set them straight.

"I never met one player or manager who wasn't focused to win the game, never in my life," he said. "When they play in front of their fans, they want to perform well and will do everything to beat us.

"[Silva has been] excellent, not just this season. They were promoted with excellent football, did really well last season and his patterns defensively and offensively are really good.

"I admire him a lot for the job he has done not just in Fulham but at Fulham his impact is there."

Pep Guardiola's men are looking to move a step closer to another Premier League title, and the FA Cup, despite having missed out on another Treble.
