#5 Both managers know only one way to play
Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are two of the most revered managers in the world at the moment, boasting a respectable CV with titles won, and more importantly, winning the respect of all and sundry for their aesthetic style of play.
Pep Guardiola has long gained fame with his tiki-taka possession based pattern, while Klopp’s gegenpressing means that his teams are never short of exhilaration and excitement anytime they take to the field.

And with both managers knowing only one way to play, we are guaranteed that there would be a lot of excitement in display at An field when both titans take to the field.
