Liverpool defeated Manchester City 1-0 on Matchday 11 of the Premier League at Anfield in one of the most eagerly awaited clashes of the day. In addition to the fact that both teams have great players, one of the focal points of the match was their coaches: Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp will meet again in an official duel. The German and the Spaniard first met in Germany in the 2013-14 season when they coached the Bundesliga's top teams, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich respectively.
Since then, a great rivalry has developed between two of today's top international coaches. Liverpool, who have had an inconsistent season, will be looking to get back to winning ways after last week's loss away to Arsenal. City, who are just one point behind the Gunners, will be aiming to get back to winning ways if they are to stay in pole position. How the head-to-head record between Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola stands.
The Liverpool player who shone against Manchester City and is not Mohamed Salah
Despite the winning goal against Manchester City, Salah ended up annoyed for this reason
They have played 26 games against each other, with Jürgen winning 12 to Pep's nine and the remaining five draws. Before the 11th Premier League fixture at Anfield in July this year, the German won the Community Shield with Liverpool after a 3-1 win over City. The match was the 11th Premier League fixture of the season at Anfield. After an intense first half, both teams went into the break scoreless.
However, early in the second half, the Reds went in search of a goal and came close to scoring when Diego Jota missed a header from Salah's pass. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola's side scored but had England's Phil Foden's goal disallowed for an Erling Haaland foul on Fabinho in the build-up. Salah broke the deadlock when, in the 76th minute, he took a diagonal run into the box and slotted past goalkeeper Ederson.
The "Pharaoh" finished off a great individual move after beating City left-back Joao Cancelo. The defeat left Manchester City on 23 points in second place in the Premier League standings, four behind leaders Arsenal, who reached 27. Meanwhile, Norway's Haaland also saw a run of seven consecutive games on the scoresheet ended.
