Who's better - Wenger or Klopp? It's up for debate (BBC News)

Newcastle would be a better team with Ivan Toney playing up front; Pep Guardiola said James Ward-Prowse is the best free-kick taker in the world, but would he ...

But would he get in ahead of Kevin de Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Rodri for a start? The experience he would have received back then would have been invaluable. It's been clear to see for a number of years exactly what he gives a team with and without possession. Probably not, but you cannot ignore the fact he is pulling up trees in the Premier League for Brentford. With Aubameyang firing and Armando Broja waiting, the game moves on leaving sentiment in its wake, much like Costa used to do to opposition defences. Klopp achieved it in his third full season with a team unrecognisable from when he first took the reins. If you ask Palace fans, I am sure most will agree we were glad to see the back of him. Wenger took Arsenal to the final, but lifting a European trophy evaded him during his 22-year tenure. He followed this up with a 99-point league title-winning season. We cannot overestimate the work, belief and discipline that goes into leading a Premier League club to an unbeaten season - and 49 games undefeated. Leading a team to an undefeated season and three Premier League titles, there is no denying Wenger's game-changing influence. It was an excellent achievement to win the Premier League with Liverpool after 30 years.
