It’s an amazing team they have, and it’s going to be an amazing game, and a difficult game, of course.” Sunday’s game will be Pep Guardiola’s 1,000th as a manager, and he’s happy it will be against Liverpool.As per BBC Sport, he said: “I think we pushed Liverpool to be better and they pushed us to be better, for sure.“If I had to choose one rival for this personal milestone – I want to share it with many, many people – that would be the best.“Because I have been in this country longer than ever, Barcelona the impact in my life as a ballboy, football player and manager was obvious and Bayern were an incredible step as well.”Liverpool have handed Guardiola 10 defeats during his managerial career, which is the joint-most, along with Tottenham.Pep has enjoyed the most success against Arsenal (20 wins), but the Gunners are currently ahead of both City and the Reds going into the weekend’s matches and could open up a 10-point lead if they beat Sunderland on November 8.
