(Reuters) - Manager Ronald Koeman has praised Pep Guardiola's impact at Premier League leaders Manchester City, but says his Everton team can exploit the Spaniard's "risky" playing style when they travel to the Etihad stadium on Saturday.

City dropped their first points this season when they were beaten away at Tottenham Hotspur in their last match, and Koeman is confident Everton can use the space left by Guardiola's high-press tactics to their advantage.
