This season's aggregate score between Manchester City and Liverpool might be 8-7 in Pep Guardiola's favour but Jurgen Klopp unquestionably has his number.
Klopp now has a better head-to-head record, with six wins from 13 meetings, and can rightfully claim to be the coach most equipped at besting Guardiola across Europe.
His Liverpool team have been imperious over the two games at Anfield since January, with two blistering performances in the image of their manager.
City have otherwise only lost against Wigan, Basle and Shakhtar Donetsk this term – all with a degree of mitigation too, having fielded weakened teams - and Liverpool are the one club to truly frighten the Premier League champions in waiting.
