Pep Guardiola has described Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi as 'one of the most influential managers in the last 20 years'.
The Manchester City manager takes his newly-crowned champions to the Amex Stadium on Wednesday to face De Zerbi's over-achieving Seagulls, who he said are 'the best in the world' at one aspect of the game.
City picked up their fifth Premier League title in six years at the weekend and now have league games against Brighton and Brentford ahead of an FA Cup final against Manchester United and the Champions League final clash with Inter Milan.
