Pep Guardiola’s record at Anfield

He is one of the greatest managers of all time, but Pep Guardiola has rarely had things his own way when visiting Anfield, the home of Liverpool.

The Catalan boss never made the pilgrimage to Merseyside as the boss of either Barcelona or Bayern Munich before he arrived in the Premier League in 2016.

The Reds were an average side for the early part of the 2010s – a title challenge in 2013/14 under Brendan Rodgers aside – but when Jurgen Klopp was signed to replace the Northern Irishman in 2015, an all-time rivalry with Guardiola soon blossomed.

The pair squared off in the Bundesliga in the years prior and no other manager has beaten Guardiola as often as Klopp. A considerable number of those wins have arrived at Anfield, which hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for Man City despite their modern Premier League dominance.
