Louis Van Gaal has said that the presence of Jurgen Klopp gives Liverpool an edge over Manchester City.

The Reds ended their 20 matches unbeaten run in the Premier League in their match against City that they lost by 2-1.

Former Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal has said that Jurgen Klopp provides Liverpool with the edge over Manchester City in the title race. The Reds were beaten for the first time in the Premier League this season in their encounter against the reigning champions City at the Etihad Stadium by 2-1. However, the former Bayern Munich and Dutch national team manager has said that the Merseyside club still hold the edge in the title race due to the presence of Klopp as their gaffer.

Van Gaal said, “Klopp has turned Liverpool into an absolute fighting machine – both attacking and defending. So, if I was to put my money on one club for the league, it would be Liverpool. Liverpool’s team is not based on the highest quality when it comes to their players. In fact, the highest quality players are at City.”

He added, “But, at the same time, that is the weakness in Guardiola. He only coaches his teams in an attacking way – always. The moment his team have to defend, they look terrible. Liverpool have a team that can defend much better.”
