Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the quality of Manchester City has been good for his team's development.
The Reds go to City on Sunday a point behind the Premier League leaders.
Klopp was asked if the two bring out the best in each other: "Probably.
"If you play professional football at the highest level, the focus is on your games.
"In sport, I think what helps the most is a strong opponent. In the long term, especially.
"I think Nadal and Federer enjoyed the rivalry they had. That's how it is in sport.
"I wouldn't say I'm thankful City is that good, but it didn't harm our development.
"It's important (we have the same mindset) none of these (other) games can compare to City. They have no weakness. They are really good in all areas."
