Everton boss Ronald Koeman says he will be forgetting his friendship with Pep Guardiola when the Toffees travel to Manchester City on Saturday.

Koeman played alongside Guardiola for five years at Barcelona during the early 1990s, with both forming part of the famous 'Dream Team' that won the European Cup at Wembley in 1992.

"We are really strong friends and now it is easy because he is living in Manchester," the Dutchman said. "Sometimes we have dinner, talk about football and talk about life.

"He was really interested in the way we play football in Holland. I see a lot in the teams managed by Pep about Dutch football, I like that because it's the most difficult way to win. (It's) sometimes risky.

"Most of the other managers win titles, but not with that football. I wish them the best but not on Saturday."
