Not only are both teams in with a shout of winning the league, but Klopp carries a miserable streak into the contest, having never beaten his fellow managerial heavyweight in a Premier League away game.<\/p>\n<p>The Reds boss has enjoyed no shortage of success against former Bayern Munich manager Guardiola, whom he also met numerous times while in charge of Borussia Dortmund. In fact, no head coach to have faced the Spaniard on more than seven occasions has a better record than Klopp, who has won 12 of their 28 meetings.<\/p>\n<p>But Premier League match-ups at the Etihad Stadium are the German&#8217;s Kryptonite. Klopp&#8217;s last league victory on City&#8217;s patch came all the way back in 2015, shortly after taking the reins at Anfield, when Manuel Pellegrini was still in charge of the Sky Blues.<\/p>\n<p>Every single one of the 18 squad members for that 4-1 triumph have now moved on to pastures new or retired, and seven league visits to the Etihad have since come and gone without a win.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta broke his own golden rule in Liverpool thumping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Jurgen-Klopp-Pep-Guardiola-5077599.jpg?r=1700576312749\"><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s safe to say that Guardiola firmly has the upper hand in this particular fixture, to the extent that it undermines his own argument about Klopp. Last year, the City boss made a bold claim about his Liverpool counterpart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jurgen has been, as a manager, the biggest rival of my career,&#8221; claimed the Barcelona legend. &#8220;What both teams propose is good for football, because both teams want to try to be themselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Real Madrid &#8216;make contact&#8217; with De Zerbi as negotiations begin for Brighton boss[REPORT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Everton Premier League row escalates as UK Parliament to discuss punishment[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Tottenham eye \u00a317m transfer discount as Chelsea &#8216;agreement&#8217; comes to light[BLOG] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although Liverpool have enjoyed FA Cup and Champions League wins at the Etihad since 2018, the likes of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson are yet to leave the very same venue with all three points in Premier League competition.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for Klopp when Guardiola is in the opposing dugout, but doing so this weekend could be integral to Liverpool&#8217;s title ambitions, as well as backing up the City manager&#8217;s lofty statement.
