There was also to be a host of food outlets, bars and plenty of 'football action'. However, the event which was set to take place from 2pm to 7pm, has now been cancelled.

A statement shared on the Jockey Club website simply reads: "This event has been cancelled and will no longer be going ahead." Klopp joined the Reds in October 2015 after owners Fenway Sports Group recruited him to succeed Brendan Rodgers, and the German has gone on to win every top-level trophy available at Anfield, including the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League the following year.

The manager also guided the team to Carabao and FA Cup successes in 2022 before losing out on a second league title to Manchester City by one point and finishing as beaten finalists to Real Madrid in the Champions League in Paris. Klopp was also the manager who won Liverpool's only Club World Cup title to date.
