Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits that he is always looking to learn from his opponents.
The Citizens coach has acknowledged that his former assistant Mikel Arteta is doing an outstanding job at Arsenal.
The Gunners are at the top of the Premier League, several points ahead of City, with the two sides still to play their two games against each other.
My biggest influence has been Johan Cruyff but many things I do I learn," Guardiola told reporters, as he prepares to take on Arsenal in the FA Cup on Friday.
I was in Germany and I learned many things with Phillip Lahm and David Alaba playing as full backs for example.
With all the managers I had; Louis van Gaal, the managers I had in Italy, Juanma Lillo in Mexico, wherever I have been I have learnt a lot.
But after you see with your players. With Erling Haaland now the way I played with Messi as a striker is completely different.
The push from attack and defence is completely different and the way we press when we put Julian and Phil Foden together in the middle with intensity in the first step in the pressing is huge and for other players it's not."
