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."
