Jürgen Klopp has revealed the horse he is backing for Grand National glory this weekend as part of a sweepstake among staff at the club's Melwood training base.

Liverpool hosts the world's most famous steeplechase tomorrow afternoon as the annual three-day meet at Aintree Racecourse comes to a close.

And Klopp is hoping Saturday will bring a double success for him courtesy of three points for the Reds at Stoke City and a win for a 14-1 shot back on Merseyside.

When asked for his pick, the boss said: "The Last Samurai - hopefully it's not the only lucky moment of this weekend!

"I don't know these guys, I'm not [into] these kinds of sports. It’s good? Not bad! I like the movie, so maybe the horse is OK also!"
