'I didn't start it' - Sean Dyche and Jurgen Klopp spats revisited as Everton and Liverpool boss face off again

The Merseyside derby can often be a lively affair, as backed up the number of red cards this fixture has produced over the years.

It is not only on the pitch where tempers could boil over on Saturday afternoon, however, when Everton and Liverpool face off against each other.

Indeed, Sean Dyche and Jurgen Klopp have a history between them - dating back to Dyche's days as Burnley boss - that has resulted in some heated exchanges occurring.

Dyche moved to play down talk of a "problem" with the German when speaking ahead of Saturday's game, insisting both he and Klopp simply "want the best for our teams."

It remains to be seen whether the two coaches can keep their cool this weekend as they go in search of a valuable three points at Anfield. Below is a reminder of the incidents that have divided Dyche and Klopp to date.

2018/19:

Liverpool came away with a 3-1 win at Burnley in December 2018, though suffered a serious injury to Joe Gomez during the game.

A sliding challenge from Ben Mee left Gomez with a leg fracture, which would keep him out of action for four months, and Klopp could not hide his anger at the home side's aggressive style of play when speaking after the full-time whistle.

“Six or seven yards and then (slide) – these times are over. Somebody has to tell you to stop doing it, make two more steps and make a normal challenge," he said.

"Nobody can judge that. You get the ball, nice, but it's like bowling because you get the player as well. It happened four or five times, everybody likes it, but Joe is injured, and probably not only a little bit."
