Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admires the way Jurgen Klopp's clubs play football, stating that Liverpool's high-pressing, all-action approach to games is “a benefit for the world”.
Guardiola's City beat the Reds to the Premier League title last season by a solitary point, but were ultimately blown away in the 2019-20 campaign as Klopp's well-oiled machine rolled their way to glory for the first time since 1990.
Both teams are widely regarded to be the best the English top tier has to offer ahead of the clubs going head to head on Thursday, with many more hotly-contested clashes between the sides bound to go ahead in the future.
