Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has sung the praises of Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola.

City host the Cherries tomorrow.

Guardiola said: "They played very well against Liverpool. Iraola did an incredible job at Real Vallecano. He plays in an offensive and attractive way, he has a lively team, with good spirits and he is not far behind.

"The idea is there. Of course, managing in the Premier League is a success for him. Hopefully we can have a good performance against them.

"He has been working in different teams for several years. He is very intelligent, I don't think tomorrow will be different."
