He said: 'Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! And a special thank to my bro @cnyt12 for the cake #22 #ynwa #liverpool.' 

Ahead of the game, Klopp admitted his side are up against it on Wednesday but is thriving going up against Arsene Wenger.

He said: 'Arsenal and Arsene have their own style, it's possession football, so it's clear that if we want to play the same way we will be without a chance because they've been doing it for longer.

'Arsenal are not only a good possession team, that's the problem, they have good counter-attacks too and that's what you have to be aware of.

'It's a job but it's a really nice job to think about solutions and how to stop them coming through with their plan. I like things like this.'
