Jurgen Klopp got hit in the pocket by the Football Association and then urged the governing body to do Liverpool a favour.

The Reds boss will pay a £8,000 fine after accepting a misconduct charge for running on to the pitch following Divock Origi's last-gasp derby winner at Anfield on Sunday.

Klopp revealed that he was less excitable when he discovered on Monday night that Liverpool had landed Wolves away in the third round of the FA Cup.

The Reds play title rivals Manchester City in the Premier League at the Etihad on Thursday, January 3 with the cup ties scheduled over the following four days.

Klopp is desperately hoping that common sense prevails and they won't face Wolves until Monday, January 7.

“I didn’t run through my living room, celebrating the draw to be honest,” Klopp said.

“I got a message saying it was Wolves away. Then I had a look and saw a lot of draws which looked like ‘oh’. They are not the same difficulty we will face but we will try everything.

“We play that week on Thursday against City so I hope we have the Monday night game or whatever then it’s okay.

“If we play on the Sunday after the City game, going to Wolves, who will probably have played three days earlier, that would be really hard, but we have to see. It’s the FA and the television (companies) who will decide.”

Klopp believes a fine rather than a touchline ban was the right punishment for his wild celebration after Origi's late goal against Everton. He admits he lost control and has no issues about paying the price.

“I don’t regret it in a way that it should not have happened. I didn't decide, it just happened,” he added.

“I’m not sure football is all about a manager running on the pitch. It just didn’t happen to 500,000 others. I know that I am rather on the jump and on the run when something happens.

“A match ban, for me, would have been too much. Paying money – and not because I earn so much money – a fine is there to make you aware and make sure you don’t do it again.

“I will not do it again as so much as I can avoid it. Now I know it, I will not to do it. Before I didn't think about it.”

Footage has surfaced of the Liverpool manager reacting in similar fashion to a dramatic late goal when he was manager of Mainz. He also pulled his hamstring celebrating during his time at Borussia Dortmund.

Klopp says life in the Premier League dictates that he has to try to be more reserved compared to when he was in his homeland.

“When I did it at Mainz, it was for a very important goal and after that it didn’t happen any more,” he said.

“At Dortmund, I ran down the sideline when we became champions and stuff like that.

“The only difference is that when I did it at Mainz, I don’t think I broke a rule. I was on the pitch and then the referee told me to get off and I went around the side. I passed the ball and that is why I fell over!

“I did my hamstring with a jump at Stuttgart. That time I jumped in front of the opposite dugout but nobody thought it was disrespectful.

“It’s just a cultural thing. It’s not for you to change and me to explain how the rules are.

“I did it. I broke a rule, I pay for it. That’s how it is. I don’t think I have had any problems with dugouts apart from a few words but that is normal.

“There were 14 years between the first one (at Mainz) and the last one. It cannot happen any more – for the next 14 years.”

Liverpool will set a new club record if they beat Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday night.

Win and they will have 39 points from 15 matches – the best start to a league season in their 126-year history.

Their previous best is 38 points after 15 games which they achieved in 1904/05, 1978/79 and 1990/91.

Sadio Mane (foot) is set to miss out with the Reds waiting on Andy Robertson (hip). Fringe players Dominic Solanke and Nathaniel Clyne are also currently sidelined by knocks.
