It is “win one for the Klopper” time as Liverpool welcome in Wolverhampton Wanderers on Championship Sunday. Wolves are in a tailspin, having lost four of their last five, and they enter this match with nothing to play for. Other than the Jurgen Klopp send-off, Liverpool actually don’t have anything on the line either.
However, the German, sometimes called “The Normal One,” the purveyor of “heavy metal football” will want to exit on a victorious note.
