AFP, London :
Pep Guardiola confronts one of the few opposition managers to have regularly outwitted him when Manchester City visit Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the Premier League’s stand-out New Year’s Eve fixture.
Klopp was a thorn in Guardiola’s side during their time as rivals in the Bundesliga, with his Borussia Dortmund team overcoming the Catalan’s Bayern Munich four times in eight meetings.
Liverpool go into Saturday’s game at Anfield a point above City in second place and while Klopp says past encounters will count for little, he is relishing the prospect of resuming hostilities.
“We know everything about how Pep played with Bayern, but that is not important any more because it is different players and different systems,” Klopp said.
