Jurgen Klopp will make his much-anticipated emotional return to Borussia Dortmund with Liverpool in the Europa League on Thursday.
Thursday's quarter-final first leg at Signal Iduna Park sees Klopp return to a club where he won consecutive Bundesliga titles in 2010-11 and 2011-12, before reaching the 2013 Champions League final, where they lost to rivals Bayern Munich.
After Klopp's final season ended in far from fitting fashion - Dortmund were bottom for large parts of the campaign, including throughout the mid-season break - Thomas Tuchel has taken the club back to the top, and they sit five points off Bayern with six games to play.
Tuchel has beaten Klopp just once in the coaches' 10 meetings, losing seven of Mainz and Dortmund's meetings between 2009 and 2014.
And Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke admitted concerns that more mental warfare could be waged by Klopp if he were to tug on the heartstrings of his adoring Signal Iduna Park public.
Watzke told Bild: "Most of all I fear that Klopp is trying to lull us into a false sense of security and that he will try to get our fans on his side to ensure that the match feels like a friendly."
