Guardiola-Slot clash start of a new managerial rivalry

John Brewin

Along with Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool are the opponents who have defeated a Guardiola team the most times, making up 10 of his 128 overall losses.

Though on Nov 9, Liverpool, as since the summer of 2024, will be without Guardiola’s most-faced opposing coach in Jurgen Klopp.

The pair met 30 times, their time facing each other in England a high point in English Premier League history.

Manchester City will welcome Liverpool when both clubs are at a crossroads, both Guardiola and Arne Slot forced to repair the damage of early season.

The last week has seen Liverpool revive by beating Aston Villa before a deserved 1-0 victory over Real Madrid, where Florian Wirtz and Conor Bradley, two strugglers this season, were outstanding.
