Liverpool boss Klopp denies seeking to insult Burnley

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp denies he sought to insult Burnley last week.

The Reds go to Turf Moor next week after today's clash with Arsenal.

In a Q&A with fans at a Main Stand event, Klopp stated: "Where do we go on the 26th? Oh, a drive to Burnley. Yes, a great place to celebrate Christmas..."

Klopp sought to clarify his comments yesterday: "Obviously I know when we play Burnley but in that specific moment I didn't have the schedule and he said Burnley and I said, 'Oh, great place to be'.

"If he would have said London, I would say great place to be; if he would have said Fiji, I would've said great place to be, because we play football there and I wouldn't have been with my family."
