One of English football's traditional rivalries will have a Dutch flavour this Sunday when Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag and Liverpool's new manager Arne Slot go head to head.

They have faced each other five times in the Netherlands previously and have quite a few managerial traits in common.

With both hailing from the east of the Netherlands, they started their first-team managerial careers in the Dutch Second Division.

MEGAPARI is giving you the BEST ODDS and possible returns on this exciting match and on other premier league games this weekend as well.

They proved their credentials early on with Slot reaching the semi-final of the Dutch Cup with SC Cambuur and Ten Hag guiding Go Ahead Eagles to the Eredivisie. It earned the latter a move to the second team of Bayern Munich, where he would work during Pep Guardiola's time at the Allianz Arena.

The Manchester City manager is a big inspiration to both Dutch bosses, with Guardiola's style of football also having an influence on them.

When Ten Hag and Slot faced each other for the first time as head coaches on 25 January 2017, a historic moment took place in Dutch football.

Slot had recently taken over at SC Cambuur, where he was appointed in a co-interim role with Sipke Hulshoff, who is now Slot's assistant at Anfield. Ten Hag was in charge of Eredivisie side FC Utrecht when the pair met for the Dutch Cup quarter-final.

Slot's side were leading 2-1 late in the second half when a high ball was played in their box, which Utrecht striker Sebastien Haller controlled with his chest and then aimed at goal with a bicycle kick.

Now the pair are set to renew their rivalry in the Premier League.

Most fans will be expecting a different encounter to when they met in pre-season.

Slot claimed the early advantage with Liverpool beating United 3-0 in the match in Columbia, South Carolina.

Although the pair will be fierce rivals, former colleagues believe they share tactical and man-management similarities.
