For Jurgen Klopp, the long goodbye will be colourful, loud and, in trademark fashion for both Liverpool and the man himself, grippingly emotional. There won’t be a dry eye inside Anfield on Sunday when Wolves are hosted and regardless of how an unlikely title chase eventually petered out during April, Sunday’s game is sure to be an I-Was-There sort of occasion as the scarves are whirred, the anthems are sung and the tears are unable to be held back. That is what is expected when the greatest manager of the 21st century at Anfield walks away. Klopp says he doesn’t…

Sepp van den Berg has made just four appearances for Liverpool since joining the club from PEC Zwolle for an initial £1.3m in June 2019. Well, sort of. The last of those came in a 1-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town in an FA Cup replay in February 2020.
