Nottingham Forest are a better team than promoted to the Premier League Fulham. Those are the words of Peterborough United manager Grant McCann as he prepares to welcome Steve Cooper's high-flying side to the Weston Homes Stadium on Saturday.
It is a meeting this weekend of two teams going through completely different emotions. At Forest, eyes are fixed firmly on cementing their place in the top six and - if results go in their favour - Cooper's side could have an extension to their season confirmed. For McCann's Peterborough, however, they know that they cannot afford to slip up and must win if they want to avoid being relegated back into League One.
Speaking ahead of the game, however, McCann was full of praise for his opposing number and even suggested his opponents are better than Fulham, whose return to the Premier League was confirmed during the week.
