6 reasons why Liverpool vs Manchester City would be the biggest clash of the 2018/19 Premier League season

#4 Guardiola's quest for revenge

Guardiola has a losing record against Klopp

As stated earlier, last season, Guardiola built a rampaging army, who obliterated all and sundry before them in the Premier League, winning the league at a canter with a lot of records including most points, goals scored and a consecutive number of victories.

Indeed, City were so dominant in the league, that they were unbeaten for the first 22 matches of the season, with many believing they would be on course to become the first team since Arsenal's invincibles in 2004 to win the league unbeaten, and that dream was a reality until a visit to Anfield.

On that fateful day, Man City were very much in the match holding out a 1-1 draw, until a 15 minute blitz in the second half resulted in the Cityzens finding themselves 4-1 down with 30 minutes left.

Although they rallied back to make it 4-3, the damage had been done, and Manchester City had been defeated for the first time last season.

Later on, in April, Guardiola was looking to win third Champions League trophy of his managerial career, as well as the first in City's history after guiding them to the quarterfinals for only the second time ever when they were drawn with Liverpool.

A first leg implosion at Anfield resulted in a 3-0 loss for City, while Mo Salah put them to the sword once more in the second leg for a 2-1 defeat, with Liverpool again showing their superiority.

For all of City's dominance last season, one team blotted their invincibility, and given Guardiola's poor record against Klopp (losing 8 out of 14 matches), the Catalan would be out for revenge against Liverpool.
