Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou "makes football a better place".
The two sides meet in the Premier League on Sunday at 16:30 GMT with three points separating City, who are second, and fifth-placed Tottenham.
Postecoglou took over at Spurs in June and the club started the season with a 10-game unbeaten run, but they have lost their past three matches.
"In a few months you recognise perfectly his team," Guardiola said.
"He's already there. In a short time, even the games they didn't win lately, I'm impressed with how good they do in many things - how many chances they create, how aggressive they are in all departments.
