Liverpool are currently eight points clear of Arsenal at the Premier League summit, with Guardiola's Manchester City down in fourth.

The two teams go head-to-head on Sunday and it'll be Arne Slot in the dugout for Liverpool, who beat City 2-0 earlier in the season.

Despite Slot enjoying a dominant first season, putting him on course to match Klopp's league title record in just one year, Guardiola doesn't want to compare the Dutchman to his old rival.
