Norwich boss Wagner excited facing Klopp's Liverpool

Norwich City manager David Wagner is anticipating a great occasion when he reunites with Jurgen Klopp.

The Liverpool and Norwich coaches are said to have a very positive relationship, as they are close friends.

As they prepare to meet in the FA Cup, with Liverpool beating Arsenal and Norwich going beyond Bristol Rovers in the previous stage, Wagner could not hide his delight.

“I haven't checked my messages yet but I wouldn't be surprised if Jürgen has already been in touch now we're through!" he stated after their win over Rovers.

“I haven't seen Jürgen in person since his birthday party last year so it will be great to have a bit of a reunion with him.

“But it's not about us and above all it's all about making sure my team go to Anfield and do Norwich City proud.

“A tie at Anfield is a really big prize for my team and I know my players will relish the opportunity to take on the Premier League's best players. But it's not something that should hold any fear for my players and I will be telling them that we will go for it.

“It will be a great game but there are important Championship games between now and Liverpool, but I promise we will be ready and will give a good account of ourselves."
