Liverpool fans are delighted

Not that anyone needed another excuse to tune in for coverage of Burnley versus Watford on Sky’s Monday Night Football, but it’s now been announced that Jurgen Klopp will be appearing on the show as a special guest.

Sky Sports have confirmed that Klopp, who watched his Liverpool side breeze past Hull City at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, will join Jamie Carragher for the first hour of the show to offer his tactical analysis and insight.

With the match at Turf Moor set to kick off at 8pm, Klopp will be in the studio from 7 – much to the delight of many a Liverpool supporter.

Still, you can’t please everyone…

The former Borussia Dortmund manager is approaching the first anniversary of his move to Merseyside with his side sitting in fourth position in the Premier League.

With no European football this season, many are tipping Liverpool to be right in the thick of a title race towards the end of the season. Despite their surprise defeat to Burnley in their second game of the season, Liverpool have secured victories at Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as recording a convincing 4-1 victory over champions Leicester on their return to a revamped Anfield.
