Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has admitted that he is considering sending his former manager Brendan Rodgers a message of encouragement ahead of Leicester Citys game against Manchester City this evening.
Rodgers, now in charge of Leicester, has the opportunity to do his former club Liverpool a massive favour in the Premier League title race by securing a draw or win against Pep Guardiolas City at the Etihad.
A dramatic 3-2 win over Newcastle United on Saturday night saw Liverpool move to the top of the Premier League table heading into the final day of the season next Sunday but City can go a point ahead of them with a win over Leicester.
City end the campaign with a trip to already safe Brighton while Liverpool face Wolves, who despite already achieving a 7th place finish have an excellent record against the top-six clubs this term.
Henderson insisted that whatever happens in the title race Liverpool can have no regrets about how the season has panned out but admitted that he and the rest of the players will be praying for Leicester to put a dent in Citys title hopes.

The lads will watch Mondays game and, yeah, pray for a miracle, Henderson told reporters.
Im sure Leicester, who are a great team, will go and give everything. Will I send Brendan a text? No. Well, maybe. Ill think about it.
City are a great team but so are we. Whoever gets the title will deserve it. We couldnt have done any more, we cant have any regrets.
Its going to the last game and we need to finish on a high at Anfield and pray that something, a miracle, can happen.
