The 5 head-to-heads between Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp

‘Normal One’ vs ‘Special One’ on Monday night in the Premier League

#5 Chelsea 1-3 Liverpool (Premier League, October 2015)

Klopp’s Liverpool piled the pressure on Mou and Chelsea with a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge

The two managers went head-to-head for the first time in the Premier League after Klopp was handed the reins at Liverpool three weeks before the match at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho’s Chelsea coming on the back of a title-winning season were struggling near the bottom of the table and Mourinho was under some amount of pressure coming into this game. On the other hand, Klopp was yet to get his first Premier League victory with his new side.

The match began with the Blues taking an early lead through Ramires. But Brazilian playmaker Coutinho equalized for Liverpool on the stroke of half-time. Further goals from the Liverpool No.10 and Christian Benteke condemned the champions to a 3-1 defeat at home.

It was their sixth of the season in eleven games, sparking a bizarre post-match interview from Jose as he kept on repeating he had ‘nothing to say’. Klopp though, had some kind words for his opposite number, as he said: “I feel for him of course, but it's work."

Chelsea’s season never recovered from the dismal start as they finished the season at tenth, two places behind Liverpool, with Mourinho getting the sack mid-season.
