Liverpool host Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, in what promises to be a huge afternoon in the Premier League title race.
Relations between Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola have always appeared cordial, with lots of mutual respect on show.
Cracks have started to appear in that respect, however, suggesting tensions are running high in the lead-up to this weekend’s game.
First, Guardiola accused Sadio Mane of being a diver, before Klopp made a subtle dig about City’s ability to make tactical fouls.
These Liverpool supporters are convinced Guardiola is obsessed with anything to do with the Reds.
Klopp is bang on. It has become an unhealthy obsession by Pep.
There is deep mental scars appearing. I feel sorry for him actually.
I recommend he go and spunk another £500m in another league before it has anymore deeper impact

He definitely is. Worries more about Liverpool's results and players than his own team

It's not a suggestion, those are plain facts

Read Liverpool Verdict
It does appear as though Guardiola is rattled by what Liverpool are achieving at the moment, potentially overshadowing the job he is doing at the Etihad.
He will take any chance he has to talk about the Reds, as highlighted by his recent remarks about Mane.
Behind the attacking football and excellent man management skills, there is a steely character who can be every bit as snide as Jose Mourinho.
