Jurgen Klopp could miss Liverpool’s games against Brentford and Leicester City if the FA hits him hard.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is facing a potential touchline ban from the FA for his conduct in the Reds’ 4-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Klopp made the headlines for the wrong season following Liverpool’s thrilling win over Ryan Mason’s men.

Jurgen Klopp happy to see Chelsea struggle this season
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has taken a swipe at Chelsea saying the Stamford Bridge club's woes are "good to see."
Klopp had been livid with the centre referee Paul Tierney’s decisions all game, which explained the reason for his celebration.
The former Borussia Dortmund manager had been yellow carded by Tierney after he complained about the decision to award Spurs a freekick that led to Richarlison’s goal.
Klopp accuses the referee of wrongdoing
But despite Liverpool’s victory, Klopp did not stop as he accused Tierney of saying something unacceptable to him.
'What he (Tierney) said to me then when he gave me the yellow card. That's not possible. But it's not OK as well,' adding Tierney said something 'unacceptable' to him,” Klopp told Supersport.
However, the referee body in England PGMOL has hit back at Klopp, saying Tierney acted within the rules of the game.

The statement read: 'Match officials in the Premier League are recorded in all games via a communications system and having fully reviewed the audio of referee Paul Tierney from today's fixture, we can confirm he acted in a professional manner throughout, including when issuing the caution to the Liverpool manager so, therefore, we strongly refute any suggestion that Tierney's actions were improper.'
