The Liverpool manager is also of the view that, whatever City’s manager achieves in England, his influence on the world game has already secured him a lasting legacy.

Alison Bender and Don Hutchison assess whether Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jese Rodriguez are realistic targets for Liverpool.

All this long overdue love for Daniel Sturridge is brilliant.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool kept pace with the leading pack with a relatively comfortable 4-1 win over Stoke City at Anfield.

But, speaking ahead of Saturday’s Premier League showdown with City at Anfield, Klopp said: “I don’t usually talk about other players, but I can make an exception”.

“There are a lot of advantages in the game, the only one before is that it’s at Anfield”.

‘The big thing is his change of position.

“We have a lot of players who can score goals and win the game for us”, added Wijnaldum. It’ll be a nice game.

As for Mark Hughes’ side, they find themselves 13th in the table.

“We have a completely different situation to a year ago”. It’s not exactly the same.

“What can I say?”

“If I was not sitting on the bench, I would buy a ticket 100 percent for this game.

It is cool. It is not the same, but it is similar to what we had at Dortmund”, Klopp explained.

“It is not a big difference between the ideas but when you look from the outside there is an image that Pep is kind of possession and I am kind of counter-pressing”.

However, the Reds boss insists he will not preparing for the upcoming clash as if he was facing Guardiola’s Bayern. Maybe they want to watch good football, maybe Pep saw nothing tonight. We are still certain that he has a key role to play in how the season ends for this club.

Bradley arrived at Liberty Stadium with a strong reputation after spells at clubs in Norway and France, as well as stints as coach of the USA and Egypt national teams but he could not halt Swansea’s slide, with the team conceding 29 goals during his time in charge.

“Confidence is not a problem of the team at the moment”.

“He plays a little bit more offensive (for Stoke) than he probably would have played for us”.

Coutinho, 24, was stretchered off in the 2-0 victory over Sunderland in early December and has since missed six games for Jurgen Klopp’s side. We are not too bad.

“We know about our quality but, obviously, we don’t show it all the time”, said Klopp.
