Klopp named Premier League manager of the month

Klopp led Liverpool to five victories in the league in December, including key wins over Merseyside rivals Everton and Leicester City. 

The wins in December also saw them tighten their grip at the top of the English Premier League table, opening a 13-point gap over second-placed Leicester.

The win was his fourth of the current season, missing out only once to Chelsea manager Frank Lampard in September. 

He joins Pep Guardiola and Rafa Benitez with a total of seven wins in total. 

The German will lead his side out against Jose Mourinho's Tottenham in the weekend's highlight match of the weekend, knowing another win will move them closer to the title.

Earlier in the day, Trent Alexander Arnold was named the Player of the Month for December, capping a brilliant year for the club.
