Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is full of praise for Steve Bruce over his work at Sunderland.
The two clubs face off today.
"Steve's done a fantastic job for Sunderland on and off the pitch," Dalglish said.
"He has sold Darren Bent who was his leading goalscorer, but to be fair to Steve that wouldn't have necessarily been his choice from a footballing sense, but it was a fantastic gesture for him because it got the club some money."
