LIVERPOOL TO DIG IT OUT WITH MAN CITY

-


The Liverpool and Manchester City managers have maintained a respectful relationship as the title rivals prepare to go head-to-head at Anfield
The noise grew quickly. A low hum which got louder and louder. 
Cheers and whistles, a ripple of applause. Enough to grab the attention away from the man at the front of the room.
Pep Guardiola was holding a post-match press conference at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, but nobody was listening now. 
Without realising it, Jurgen Klopp had stolen his limelight.
Klopp’s unscheduled appearance outside the media room caused such a commotion that, when the door opened, Guardiola invited the Liverpool boss on stage alongside him. The pair embraced warmly but, as Klopp sat down, Guardiola made straight for the exit.
“Oh…bye!” grinned a bemused, perhaps slightly embarrassed, Klopp.
That was in the summer of 2018, following a low-key pre-season friendly, which Liverpool won. Fast forward 16 months and Klopp is hoping to steal Guardiola’s stage once more, this time with the stakes much, much higher.
And with the rivalry between the two clubs – and the two managers – having grown and grown and grown in the meantime.
Manchester City arrive at Anfield on Sunday knowing that defeat would loosen their two-year grip on the Premier League. Victory for Liverpool would take Klopp’s team nine points clear at the top of the table, an unthinkable gap at this stage of the campaign.
