Man City face Liverpool on the racecourse as Klopp takes on Aguerooo at Wolverhampton

There's an alternative 'Manchester City v Liverpool' match taking place tonight.

Horses 'Aguerooo' and 'Klopp' bid to score in Wolverhampton Racecourse's Betway Handicap.

The six-furlong contest, at 5.20pm, will see 12 runners go to post including the two football-themed contenders, named after the Liverpool manager and Manchester City striker.

Just like in the Premier League, the Reds are a much shorter price in the betting to triumph, with Klopp one of the favourites at around 5/1.

Aguerooo, the greatest ever goalscorer in the history of the competition, is 9/1 to bag another victory.

Liverpool lead Manchester City by 14 points and look inevitable certainties to win the title for the 19th time- and their first since the 2000/1 season.

They are just 1/25f to maintain their substantial lead and cross the winning line in front.

Klopp has the best recent form of the two runners later, with a second on his record over course and distance from just three days ago.

Officials at the Midlands track will be monitoring the weather in the build-up to the sprint, as earlier today.
