The biggest game of the 2023-24 Premier League title race takes place on Sunday, as Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield.
Liverpool are one point ahead of City at the top of the Premier League, with Pep Guardiola's side a point above Arsenal.
Since Guardiola and Klopp have managed in the Premier League, the German has had the better of their head-to-head rivalry.
Liverpool have won eight, drawn six and lost seven games in all competitions in the Klopp vs. Guardiola era.
However, speaking ahead of the latest match between these two Premier League heavyweights, Klopp conceded that Guardiola is the best in the business.
"I have a positive record against Pep and I have no idea how that happened," Klopp told the media.
"I know I am not bad, but he is the best."
Unless the two sides meet in the latter stages of the FA Cup, this will be the last match between the two great managers before Klopp departs in the summer.
"We have said it before that we will definitely meet in the future, it will be full of respect," added Klopp.
"I think I have said it often enough about how much I respect him and we will have a lot to talk about [in the future]."
