VIDEO: Arteta praises 'hugely influential' Guardiola

If the return to the Premier League was already interesting enough, one of the first two clashes will no doubt be a crowd-pleaser, despite having to be played behind closed doors.

Indeed, the first duel between the master Pep Guardiola and his student Mikel Arteta is one of those epic football matches no one will want to miss.

It all comes to a head tomorrow, when Manchester City host Arsenal at the Emirates behind closed doors.
