Norwich boss David Wagner embracing another Jurgen Klopp reunion

Norwich manager David Wagner is relishing the prospect of pitting his wits against close friend Jurgen Klopp after his side secured an FA Cup fourth-round tie with Liverpool.

Wagner has promised his team will "go for it" when they head to Anfield following their 3-1 win over League One side Bristol Rovers in their third-round replay at the Memorial Stadium.

His side had to come from behind after Rovers took a first-half lead through Luke McCormick but the Canaries ended up comfortable winners thanks to goals from Gabriel Sara, Republic of Ireland striker Adam Idah and Kenny McLean.

"I haven't checked my messages yet but I wouldn't be surprised if Jurgen has already been in touch now we're through," said Wagner, who was a team-mate of Klopp's at Mainz and best man at his 2005 wedding.

"I haven't seen Jurgen in person since his birthday party last year so it will be great to have a bit of reunion with him.

"But it's not about us and above all it's all about making sure my team go to Anfield and do Norwich City proud.

"A tie at Anfield is a really big prize for my team and I know my players will relish the opportunity to take on the Premier League's best players.

"But it's not something that should hold any fear for my players and I will be telling them that we will go for it.

"It will be a great game but there are important Championship games between now and Liverpool but I promise we will be ready and will give a good account of ourselves."

"We showed lots of character and stayed strong and stayed together and we will have to show that again at Liverpool."

Wagner saluted his players after their second-half improvement.

"At half-time I asked them to be brave and be positive and so I could not be happier with their response," he
