Klopp vs Guardiola
Liverpool breaking the bank
This is something you usually associate with City. After a record-breaking season, it looked like Pep Guardiola's team would dominate the league for several years to come. But after spending large amounts of money last summer, Liverpool have enhanced their position as the only club in England that could challenge City this season.
With an eight-point lead after eight gameweeks, this year may finally be Liverpool's year.
Mohamed Salah vs Kevin De Bruyne
These are the two standout players in English football. De Bruyne had struggled with injuries last season, but there is no doubt that City are an entirely different team when the Belgian plays.
He was undoubtedly the best player for City in their record-breaking season with eight goals and 16 assists, but was beaten to the individual awards by Salah, who has gone on to bag back-to-back Golden Boots.
There has been a big debate between the fans on who is the better player and that debate looks set to continue for years to come.
Lack of competition from other teams
The Premier League has always been known for its competitiveness. But last season was all about Liverpool and City and this season has been no different thus far.
United would like to believe that their rivalries with City and Liverpool are bigger than any other rivalry. History may say corroborate that too. But at present, they are a long way away from them.
Right now, Liverpool vs City is THE rivalry in the league.
