Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says fans should give Brendan Rodgers a warm welcome back with Leicester City.

Rodgers enjoyed three-and-a-bit seasons at Liverpool before he was sacked in October 2015, with Klopp arriving as his replacement at Anfield.

The German expects Rodgers to receive a warm welcome when he returns to the club this weekend.

"I hope from the fans it will be okay," said Klopp, who currently rents a house owned by Rodgers from his time on Merseyside.

"From my side it is fine. All the issues are sorted which we had a few years ago from when we started living in the house!

"We love living there and it is all good, we've paid our rent to him so I'm not sure he still has to work but he is still doing it!

"He is doing really well, I am not surprised about that. I knew when I came here that he was not the reason that things didn't work out.

"Since then he did an incredible job at Celtic and now at Leicester."
