Juergen Klopp
Liverpool and City have dominated the league for the past few years, but this season it appears to be a two-horse race between Arsenal and City, with Liverpool languishing in sixth - 19 points behind Pep Guardiola's second-placed side.
Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp is convinced no one can be greater than Pele but what he marvelled at the most was the Brazilian football great's humility despite being one of the most popular people on the planet.
Liverpool are in sixth place in the league standings after a disappointing start to the season and face a Villa side who have moved up to 12th after the appointment of Unai Emery as manager in October.

"They will want to do it again. It would be big 100 percent. If we did it, it would be big, too. We will try," said Klopp.
Klopp has hailed the ever-present influence of Firmino after the Brazilian capped an impressive all-round display with two goals in Tuesday's 5-0 win over Swansea.
