Klopp holds bragging rights over Mourinho

It's billed as one of the biggest Premier League games of the season as Liverpool travel to Old Trafford in a second-versus-third showdown with qualification to the Champions League at stake.

The reverse fixture at Anfield in October ended in a lacklustre 0-0 draw with Mourinho criticised for parking the bus instead of going for the win.

However, given his poor record against Klopp, it is understandable why the Portuguese head coach is so cautious against his foe.

He has only beaten the German once in eight previous attempts and Klopp, in fact, has the best record of any manager against Mourinho in head-to-head clashes (W3, D4, L1).

The two first met in October 2012 when Mourinho was at Real Madrid and Klopp was coaching Borussia Dortmund, with the clubs facing off in the group stages of the Champions League - the Bundesliga outfit securing a 2-1 win at home before drawing 2-2 at the Bernabeu.

They would then battle it out months later in the semi-final, exchanging victories but Dortmund would come out on top: 4-3 on aggregate.

After, Klopp and Mourinho both moved to the Premier League, managing Chelsea and Liverpool respectively but only faced one another once in 2015, with the German coming out on top 3-1.

Since then, Mourinho moved to United and the two clubs have exchanged three rather dismal draws but both managers will be hoping to change that on Saturday.
