Pep Guardiola v Jose Mourinho: The rivalry the Premier League needs... they're battling at the top, complete with snarkiness and mind games

A stone's throw, or at least one hurled by Rory Delap, is probably the best way to chart how close Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola live to each other.

Guardiola and Mourinho are doing it their different ways at Manchester City and Manchester United. One is a proactive coach, the other largely reactive. Either way, they are the world's finest and reside almost side-by-side.
