4 greatest club rivalries in the Premier League in the last 20 years

#1 Manchester City vs Liverpool

Manchester City vs Liverpool is the new-age rivalry in the Premier League

German manager Jurgen Klopp was appointed the Liverpool manager in 2015 amid a lot of expectations and he has not let the Anfield faithful down since then. He has made Liverpool a happening club again, as they finished runners-up in last season’s UEFA Champions League.

Klopp has signed some great players like Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Virgil Van Dijk, Alisson Becker and Andrew Roberston to build a very strong team at Liverpool.

However, City have also proven to be equal to the task, appointing Pep Guardiola as their manager in 2016. Guardiola won the Premier League in 2017-18 with a record margin and is currently in the process of building his legacy at City with players like Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Leroy Sane, David Silva and John Stones.

Liverpool and City are at the 1st and 2nd positions respectively in the league table at the moment, and their rivalry is in full swing currently.

Although City won the Premier League quite comfortably last year, they were thumped 4-1 by Liverpool in their encounter at Anfield. The Merseysiders also beat the Cityzens in the Champions League semi-final comfortably.

However, City beat Liverpool in a league match this season to exact their revenge somewhat. The spectators can definitely hope to keep enjoying this rivalry for next the few seasons at least.
