When a title race gets closer, the fine margins are often decided by the head to head clashes between the contenders. Manchester City wrestled the title back from Manchester United in the 2011-12 season by virtue of their 1-0 victory at the Etihad.
City went on to win the title on account of goal difference, reminding us all how decisive that match in Manchester turned out to be.
In that aspect, Klopp and Liverpool fans can breathe easy. Their record against the rest of the top seven is astoundingly good – unbeaten, and 26 points in 12 matches this season. Even in Europe last season, Klopp's reds unfailingly raised their game against the big boys.
