With Manchester City and Liverpool firmly established as the Premier League's dominant teams, we’ll be analysing the mental battle between their managers Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp.
We’ll look back at how serial winners Sir Alex Ferguson and José Mourinho used mind games to get inside the heads of opponents.
And sports psychologist Michael Caulfield, who has worked with Gareth Southgate, Dean Smith and Steve Bruce, explains why “every sentence counts” when top coaches address the media at the business end of the season.
