5 defining battles in Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp's Man City vs Liverpool rivalry

Manchester City prepare to welcome Liverpool for what has been billed as the Premier League title showdown at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday in the latest instalment of the fascinating Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp rivalry.
