Pep Guardiola's influence on the English game is simply undeniable.
Hallmarks of the Manchester City manager's ideology can be seen right across the football pyramid, from the Premier League through to the lower reaches.

But Guardiola's legacy also has the potential to bite him as Crystal Palace showed by stunning his side early on in Saturday's clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Eberechi Eze slotted in an opener for the visitors which came after an incredible 24-pass move reminiscent of Pep's all-conquering Barcelona team of the early 2010s.
The Eagles followed up their well-worked opener by doubling the lead from a set piece with only their second chance of the afternoon.
Well they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
