The Premier League has seen some incredible rivalries down through the years. The feud between Manchester United and Arsenal is usually seen as the gold standard in the division, could the current one between Liverpool and Manchester City eclipse that one?

Jamie Carragher laid out the argument for this as the Premier League's greatest ever rivalry earlier this week, a suggestion that has been ridiculed in some circles. Essentially, he said this is the first time in the Premier League era that the two best teams in Europe have been going toe-to-toe in English football.

It certainly helps that they have the two best managers in world football at the helm. Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola are at the very top of the coaching tree, but who has done a better job at their respective clubs?

City have won more trophies under their manager, although have won a few honours of their own while starting from a lower base in terms of talent in the squad and operating off a smaller budget.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Gary Neville argued that what Jurgen Klopp has done at Anfield is more difficult than what Guardiola has had to do in Manchester.

I thought Jurgen Klopp looked unhappy earlier in the season, I thought Liverpool looked like, from the standard they were at a few years ago, were slightly moving down.

The job that Jurgen Klopp has done at Liverpool is absolutely incredible. It's unbelievable. I think it's actually a harder job than what Pep Guardiola has done at Manchester City, what Jurgen Klopp has done.

Pep Guardiola is a genius, he has transformed football and will go down in history as someone who has designed a way of playing that people have followed, that is unbelievable in itself.

For Jurgen Klopp to go to Liverpool in the position they were in and be competing with this Manchester City team, with the transfer budget he has had, is absolutely out of this world, it really is.

To see the football they have played, you don't go to Liverpool and see a bad game of football. They're always a good game of football.

When you consider the squad he inherited compared to that at City, and the amount of money the two teams have comparatively spent during the intervening years, Klopp getting this team to the same level as Guardiola's side is a remarkable feat.

With both men set to be around for at least another season or two, the comparisons are unlikely to stop anytime soon.
