#1 Jose Mourinho vs Pep Guardiola
The most intriguing of all the clashes is the face-off between these seasoned managers at the helm of their respective clubs. Both of them have won trophies and shaped ideologies throughout their journeys in the last decade and more. With these two at the helm, the tactical battle in this high voltage tie will be crucial.
Jose Mourinho has received his fair share of criticism, and has been on the receiving end since United's poor start to the season. His third seasons with his previous clubs have left a bitter taste in the mouth, but United's latest victories seem to be unleashing the Jose Mourinho we all love and loathe.
On the other hand, Pep Guardiola is on his way to making another dynasty. His high flying Manchester City look untouchable at times. His constant search for perfection has made City a scary team for rivals, and even without a player like Kevin De Bruyne, they are on their way to surpass their own staggering records.
It will not be just a clash between two top tactical masterminds of our generation, but also a clash of contrasting ideologies.
