Jurgen Klopp will be comforted by having his 'best friend and brother' David Wagner alongside him for an emotional afternoon at Anfield.

The match programme for Sunday's FA Cup tie against Norwich makes no mention, due to early publication deadlines, of Klopp’s bombshell announcement on Friday that he’s leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.

But in his programme notes, Klopp does speak warmly of Canaries boss Wagner, the best man at his wedding after they first met as team-mates at Mainz.

‘I know David so well that I regard him as a best friend and a brother,’ said Klopp.
