Ranking the 5 fiercest-ever Premier League rivalries as Carragher picks City v Liverpool
Jamie Carragher opened a huge can of worms when he said that the Liverpool-Manchester City rivalry is the greatest we have ever seen.While linking to his piece in The Telegraph, the Sky Sports pundit wrote: “ This @ManCity and @LFC rivalry is the best we’ve ever had in English football!! We’ve never had the two best teams & managers in the world together fighting it out.” Many were up in arms over the summary, claiming that the bitter battles of yesteryear undoubtedly trump that current feud between this season’s title challengers.Here, Daily Star Sport will run you through what we believe to be the best rivalries ever to take place in the Premier League, in order of weakest to fiercest.Kevin Keegan took Newcastle from promotion to almost immediate title contenders in 1994.The Magpies, now known as the Entertainers, were in inches of winning the Premier League title, being 15 points clear at Christmas during the 1995-96 season.But it wasn’t to be as the Sir Alex Ferguson mind games proved too strong and the Red Devils carried on their dominance in the league, snatching the title away from the underdogs.Do you agree with our list? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.Just as the rivalry between Ferguson and Arsene Wenger seemed to die down, one Jose Mourinho entered the fray.After winning the Premier League in his first season with Chelsea, Ferguson found himself another boss to go head-to-head with.The jury’s out on who pipped who between these two, though, with both sharing a trophy-laden period. Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have been the top brass in English football for the past several years.
