The three-time World Cup winner posted the message on social media in a birthday greeting to Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish, who was 68 yesterday.

And Kop full-back Andy Robertson has promised City a fight to the finish.

He said: “We’re only a point behind. They’ve been good at piling on the pressure, but now we do that to them and hopefully they feel it because we will push them the whole way.

“If we fall short, we fall short. If we don’t, then great.

“If they drop points then we need to be in a position to capitalise on that like they’ve done to us.”

Klopp’s side have drawn four of their last six in the league with their latest slip-up a goalless draw at Everton on Sunday.

Toffees midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has tipped City to break Red hearts. He said: “The big difference between Liverpool and City is the depth of the bench.

“When you see that City can win the Champions League, the Premier League, changing nearly six players, seven players and still have the same quality, technically.

“Liverpool are still not capable of doing that.”

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 25, who has been out for nearly a year with a knee injury, will return for Liverpool’s Under-23s this week.
