Jurgen Klopp's hilarious threat to former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers

Jurgen Klopp has warned Brendan Rodgers he could withhold rent if Leicester can't do Liverpool a title favour!

The Foxes still have to face Manchester City - and the Reds badly need them to take something from the Etihad.

Klopp has rented his house from the club's old manager since replacing him in October 2015.

Liverpool need a City slip up in the final three games or they could face missing out on the championship despite only one Premier League defeat all season.

He was jokingly asked on Sky Sports if he would consider drastic action if Leicester don't come up with the goods next Monday.

He said: "Can I? In Germany that's not possible but if it is in England then tell me!

"They have to do their own job themselves and we have to do ours.

"I really have no problem that. I'm really happy about the situation."

Klopp has warned Manchester City the title race is far from over despite their rivals easing through their most tricky late-season fixture at rival Manchester United on Wednesday.

“It is over when it’s over and not before, and for us it is not over," he said.

“I am really fine, because I really like how the boys respond.

“It is a little bit like destiny — if someone wants us to be champions, we will be champions. If not, we will not.But the boys will not be the reason in a negative way.

Jurgen Klopp says title race outcome won't change incredible Liverpool declaration

“There are so many examples in life of what could happen if you give up too early, of what it means, of people who would not have survived if they’d given up. You know these examples.

Liverpool have some injury issues for the Huddersfield game on Friday night.

Fabinho is a doubt following a clash of heads in Sunday's away win over Cardiff and Klopp is ready to wait until the last minute before making a decision on the midfielder.

Defender Dejan Lovren has been cleared to return after illness, and midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain — out with a knee injury since April 24 last year — could also be added to the squad.
