Five memorable games between Pep Guardiola’s Man City and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool

Title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool meet on Sunday in a huge clash at the top of the Premier League.

Under respective managers Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp, the two clubs have been the preeminent forces in English football in recent years.

Here, the PA news agency looks at some notable clashes between the sides in the current era.

This was a clash between third and fourth at the time but a indicator of high-intensity top-of-the-table battles to come as both sides played their part in a thrilling draw. Former City midfielder James Milner scored from the penalty spot for Liverpool after 51 minutes, but Sergio Aguero levelled. Yet that was far from the full story with both sides missing gilt-edged opportunities, including Aguero fluffing another chance and later volleying over. Kevin De Bruyne also hit a post for City while, at the other end, Adam Lallana failed to tap into an empty net. Both teams also felt they were unlucky with some refereeing decisions in a frantic encounter.

Liverpool hit City with three goals in a ferocious eight-minute spell as they edged a pulsating clash that ignited the modern rivalry between the clubs. City had been flying at the time and were well on course for the title, but the Reds served warning they would soon be a force to be reckoned with. Leroy Sane cancelled out Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s early strike, but Liverpool took control as Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah netted in a whirlwind spell in the second half. Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan replied late on, but Liverpool held on.
