Brendan Rodgers and Leicester have the perfect chance to stick the knife into Liverpool's faltering season and take a giant step towards the top four... but former Reds boss will have to break his Jurgen Klopp hoodoo first

Three times Brendan Rodgers has had the chance to stick it to his successor Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool since he was sacked as their manager in October 2015.

Despite coming so close to ending their top-flight title drought in 2013-14, which Klopp eventually did last season, Rodgers' reputation at Anfield was hit. That spat with Raheem Sterling played out on an ill-fated 2012 TV documentary and the failed signing of Mario Balotelli are just two examples. At the first sign of trouble the club sacked him and he's had to restore his reputation - first at Celtic and now Leicester.
