Chelsea boss Graham Potter is one of the best managers in the Premier League at present.

That is according to his counterpart at Manchester City, Pep Guardiola.

The two attack-minded coaches are set to go head to head on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup.

With City coming off a win over Fulham and Chelsea reeling after a home defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League, the Cup provides a distraction for both managers.

“If Chelsea accept my humble advice, give him time and he will do well," Guardiola stated during a press conference.

“They got good results but the way they play, when I saw the game against Brighton that they lost, I saw many things I remember from his period in Brighton. But he needs time, everybody needs time.

“No one has success from day one or two, I have a lot of admiration for his work.

“What he did at Brighton was beyond exceptional and I'm pretty sure with time he will do a good job, I don't have any doubts.

“He is one of the best managers from my point of view, we have in this league."
