Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was given a telling off after inadvertently swearing live on TV following his side's victory over Derby in the EFL Cup on Tuesday.

Liverpool beat the Championship side 3-0 - courtesy of goals from Ragnar Klavan, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi - to reach the fourth round of the competition before the Reds boss turned the air blue.

The charismatic German was reportedly complaining about the lack of TV coverage for the game, saying: 'They did not show this game on TV? They show every f***ing game in Germany!'

Liverpool press officer Matt McCann can then be heard telling Klopp that 'People don't want to hear you swear,' before the pair realise they are being broadcast live and Sky Sports News reporter Pete Colley begins his interview with an apology for the Anfield manager's language.

Klopp, who has previously asked for permission to swear following last year's League Cup final defeat by Manchester City, reacts like a naughty, but unconcerned, schoolboy.

The 49-year-old, who made seven changes to the side that beat Chelsea in the Premier League last Friday, admits he now faces some selection dilemmas in the coming weeks.

'The more players I have, the more difficult choices there are for me but the better it is for LFC,' Klopp said.

Liverpool have now won five of their seven matches this term, with the 2-0 defeat at Burnley the only black mark against their record.

They have scored 19 goals so far (compared to five over the first seven matches last season), from 10 different players, and appear to be gathering momentum with three successive wins and a five-game unbeaten run.

'The pleasing thing is that I don't feel anything,' Klopp said.
