Babbel: Klopp will be a Liverpool legend if he delivers Premier League title

Jurgen Klopp will write himself into Liverpool folklore if he can guide the Reds to their first Premier League title this season, according to Markus Babbel.

Since taking over for Brendan Rodgers during the 2015-16 season, Klopp has overseen an uptick in club fortunes, which included a trip to the 2017-18 Champions League final.

This season, Klopp's Reds have suffered defeat in the Premier League just once – a setback against Manchester City in January – and managed to find themselves top of the league at Christmas and through January.
