Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he hardly ever watches Manchester City play on the television, after making the mistake of witnessing the crushing moment Vincent Kompany produced an unlikely wonder-strike against Leicester City which gave the Sky Blues one hand on the Premier League trophy back in 2019.
The Anfield boss sat down with former Liverpool player-turned-pundit Jamie Carragher to discuss a wide range of issues in an exclusive interview for Sky Sports, who will broadcast Sunday's Merseyside derby from Anfield. The pair discussed the Reds' nail-biting title run-in with Pep Guardiola's side.
