Jurgen Klopp joins Sportsmail's fight against dementia as the Liverpool boss gets set to attend one-off live event along with Sir Alex Ferguson and Gareth Southgate to raise funds for research and suffering families

Jurgen Klopp will square off against Sir Alex Ferguson — after the Liverpool manager became the latest big name to join football’s fight against dementia.

Klopp will join Ferguson, Sir Kenny Dalglish and Gareth Southgate in a one-off live event being held in conjunction with Sportsmail’s campaign to raise funds for research into the link between football and the disease and to support those suffering and their families.

The German will take part in the fundraiser on Friday night, less than 48 hours before his Premier League champions face Manchester United.
