Brendan Rodgers today issued a special Christmas message to Liverpool supporters around the world.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our great supporters around the world a very happy Christmas Day.

As a team, we will be in work this morning preparing for a very important game tomorrow against Manchester City. We see this match like every other game - as an opportunity to demonstrate our qualities.

Today, however, is about family and I wish you all a beautiful and healthy Christmas, from the manager of the greatest football family in the world.

Big hug,
Brendan
