Manchester City travel to Stamford Bridge to lock horns with Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella has waxed lyrical about Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of Sunday's meeting between the two clubs at Stamford Bridge.
The aim for the Blues now is to head into the upcoming international break top of the Premier League table. They are guaranteed to remain top of the pile with three points at Stamford Bridge, regardless of results elsewhere this weekend.READ MORE: Pep Guardiola issues triple City injury update And one man who will be aware of the threat City are likely to pose in west London is Cucurella, who, despite never working with Guardiola, benefited from his lasting legacy at Barcelona. The defender joined the club's academy in 2012, but despite that being the same year that Guardiola left, he believes the Catalan's influence during his time in charge left a platform for others to build from.
"The philosophy in the Barcelona academy changed because all the teams, they play the same style, the same formation with the same mentality and I think this is very good. We can see they do the same here at Manchester City.
