Liverpool stars visit children's hospital before Manchester United game

Liverpool’s players were able to take time out from their preparations for the busy festive period to spread some Christmas cheer to children at Alder Hey hospital.
The likes of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and club captain Jordan Henderson took an afternoon out on Wednesday to put a smile on the young faces at the children’s hospital.

The team – with manager Jurgen Klopp in tow – donned Santa hats and posed for a number of pictures with the kids after finishing their morning training session at Melwood.
To make sure as many of the young fans got their chance to see the squad, the players split up into groups to make their way around the hospital, signing autographs and talking to patients and their families.
The likes of Xherdan Shaqiri, Fabinho and Andy Robertson were also present as they gave out some gifts to the children during their visit.
Salah, who has scored four goals in two games, was also pictured holding a baby while Klopp posed with an Everton fan.
Henderson, Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum spent their time on the visit painting paper plates with some young fans.
The visit comes ahead of one of the biggest games of the season as the Reds prepare for the visit of Manchester United to Anfield on Sunday.
Klopp's team will be buoyed by the narrow 1-0 win over Napoli in midweek that saw them progress to the Champions League knockout stages.
It has been a memorable seven days for the club as they also overtook Manchester City at the top of the Premier League last Saturday.
A 4-0 win over Bournemouth, which included a hat-trick from Mohamed Salah, came before City lost 2-0 at Chelsea, giving Liverpool a one-point lead at the summit.

Tekashi 6ix9ine Drives The Flashiest Ferrari You've Ever Seen

Tekashi's car seriously matches his hair. When you think of 6ix9ine, you probably picture his obnoxiously-colored rainbow hair and teeth in your mind. The man has built a brand off of a combination of his unique image, his stylistic blend of different musical genres, and his Instagram trolling. Currently on a trip to Dubai, Tekashi has been keeping his fans updated with his latest stunting news. Yesterday, the artist revealed that he had spent $50K after spending just 10 minutes inside the Gucci store. Some would say that he's being financially irresponsible but considering all of the success he's experienced this year, his paychecks are probably looking larger than life.
