Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp continue their rivalry on Sunday in the 10th fixture between the two managers.
They battled it out for two seasons in the Bundesliga in charge of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund respectively and while Liverpool’s win over Manchester City earlier this season handed Klopp a 5-4 lead in the head-to-head standings, Guardiola can point to a German Cup win in 2014.
