Pep Guardiola of Manchester City and Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool have been awarded the world’s top managers.
Anfield will host a top-of-the-league match between both clubs.
Going into what may end up being a championship decider at Anfield, Klopp has a winning record of 12 victories to 11 over Guardiola in 29 meetings.
“Pep is the best manager in the world. In my lifetime, he’s the outstanding manager.
“The way he influenced football. Many trophies won but he behaves like he’s never won anything… the desire is outstanding.
“I see excellence. Pep is definitely that,” Klopp told a news conference on Friday.
