Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has denied claims he works with Anfield's groundstaff to put the opposition at a disadvantage.

The Reds drew with Leicester City this week amid accusations over the state of the Anfield pitch.

Klopp was condemned after ground staff only cleared snow from the goalmouth Liverpool were attacking against Leicester.

But he said: “I never asked anyone to clear one side of the pitch and leave the other one in the mud. That's how I understand sports. There was no plan, I promise you. Nobody told them - I can swear - to clear only our side or our box."
