Roy Keane told ITV, as quoted by Rousing The Kop:
“This is why Klopp and Pep are the best. They’ve been on this road before with their club, with their previous clubs. They’re used to the demands. Klopp’s obviously relieved but he still looks fresh [in his interview] – these managers look like they’re ready for this challenge. They’re in safe hands with Klopp and Pep. They’ve been on this road before.”
Liverpool are chasing a historic quadraple having already won the League Cup this season while Manchester City also look relentless in their pursuit of a treble.
The two teams will take on each other in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at Wembley next month, a week after their crunch Premier League tie at the Etihad.
The Reds managed to grab a hard-earned 1-0 win against Nottingham forest in the quarter-finals while the Cityzens demolished Southampton 4-1.

Liverpool and Manchester City have been relentless under Klopp and Guardiola respectively
Liverpool and Manchester City have been the dominating force in English football over the last few years thanks to their two enigmatic managers.

Klopp is better on the ground that he minimises expenditure and achieves maximum results. Pep spends too much money more than Klopp to achieve his own results.
