#SPORTS: Captain Henderson celebrates his 30th by watching PL's return in a tepee

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson celebrated his 30th birthday in a tepee watching the Premier League's return.

Henderson had the perfect set up to watch defending champions Manchester City take on Arsenal from the comfort of his back garden.

The midfielder shared a picture of himself sitting on a bean bag in front of a large screen that was displaying tonight's opening Premier League game between Aston Villa and Sheffield United.

Henderson tweeted: 'Not a bad birthday present! Thank you all for the birthday messages!

'I hope everyone enjoys the football being back on as much as I will.'

Liverpool are set to return to action on Sunday, June 21, against Everton at Goodison Park.

Henderson, who is in his ninth year at Liverpool, is on the verge of becoming the first captain to win the title in the Premier League era.

The Reds had hoped that Man City would slip up against Arsenal and give them the opportunity to claim the title during their Merseyside derby on Sunday, but the light blues claimed three points against the Gunners.

Meaning, Liverpool will need six points, two wins, to claim the 2019-2020 the title as they sit at the top of the table on 82 points.

Henderson has already picked up silverware at the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup over the last 12 months with the Reds.
