<\/p>\nJurgen Klopp accidentally left a Sky Sports reporter squirming for air as he welcomed him back to Liverpool's training ground after the international break.<\/p>\n
Vinny O'Connor and Klopp shared a laugh and a joke as Klopp placed him in a headlock before launching a friendly jab to the ribs joking: "Thank you for that 12:30!" The Reds will welcome back the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime in the early slot against Manchester City. <\/p>\n
And Klopp was clearly not too happy with the broadcasting demands that has seen the fixture pushed forward. One wrestling fan tweeted: "Jurgen got better working punches than most of the roster!"<\/p>\n

"He\u2019s the greatest manager in every sense," a second joked. While a third responded: "Don't let him bully you Vinny!"<\/p>\n
"The early kick off is really personal to him," a fourth said. And another added: "Is Klopp punching journalists now?"<\/p>\n

Liverpool and City will be involved in a top-of-the table clash on Saturday lunchtime, where a win could see Klopp's side return to the summit of the Premier League for the first time since the 21\/22 season. The Reds have experienced something of a resurgence this season, after a disappointing campaign last time out.<\/p>\n
City are currently the pace setters, but they could be without star man Erling Haaland on Saturday. Haaland hobbled off for Norway over the international break – before missing their clash with Scotland.<\/p>\n
Rodri is also a doubt for Pep Guardiola, with City's key central midfielder missing the first game of Spain's international break, but he did manage 86 minutes vs Georgia.<\/p>\n
