Arsenal legend Ian Wright has weighed in on the great debate over who has been the better manager between Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola.

Klopp's rivalry at Liverpool with Guardiola at Man City has seen the duo go head-to-head in several Premier League title races. The Reds and Man City have occupied the top two positions in the top flight in three out of the previous five seasons.

Sunday saw Liverpool draw 1-1 with Man City at Anfield in the Premier League. The two clubs are separated by just one point with 10 games to go and set for another title race, with Arsenal also in the running.

Wright appeared as a pundit on Sky Sports Monday Night Football alongside Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher. The former Arsenal striker was asked to name who has been the better manager between Klopp and Guardiola.

Wright argued why Klopp could be deserving of the accolade. He also went on to say how the 115 charges that are currently against Man City from the Premier League may have an impact on the way the rivalry between Klopp and Guardiola is viewed.

"I think when you look at the trophy cabinet that Pep [Guardiola] has done very well, but then you look at what Klopp has done to try and catch Manchester City and the way he has built that team to get them there," said Wright.

"You have to say, yes, it’s been easier for Pep with what he’s done. But, Klopp has a lot of love, but it’s there for everyone to see in respect to the amount of trophies.

"But, we can’t speak about City without talking about the 115 charges around them. The one thing I would like more than anything else is for that to be gone so you can give the team and the manager the flowers they deserve because when you speak about them, it’s like there is an elephant in the room.

"You want to speak about them, but this rivalry, it’s not fair on the players and it’s not fair on the club. The sooner that’s gone [115 charges], the better for them. You can’t look at what Klopp’s done and the amount of trophies Guardiola has won and say that Guardiola has not done better."
