Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola may have fashioned one of the Premier League's greatest rivalries in recent years but the Liverpool boss jokes he would prefer his rival to QUIT

Despite their epic rivalry lifting the Premier League to new heights, Jurgen Klopp jokes that he’d enjoy his job at Liverpool far more if Pep Guardiola was nowhere near the Etihad.

Guardiola is in the final year of his contract at Manchester City with serious discussions yet to start over an extension.

While Klopp acknowledges the ‘best manager in the world’ has forced Liverpool to raise their own game, he wouldn’t mind the Spaniard disappearing — though his loud guffaw indicates he believes the City boss will end up staying.
