Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp calls for end to homophobic chanting aimed at Chelsea

Jurgen Klopp has once more called to end the homophobic chanting aimed at Chelsea ahead of Saturday's lunchtime kick-off at Anfield.

The Reds host the Londoners in the first home Premier League game of the calendar year and welcome a side who are one place below them in the table in 10th.

Fixtures with Chelsea have been marred by chanting of a homophobic nature for years and Klopp, with the help of the club, sat down with Paul Amann, of LGBT+ fan group Kop Outs, to urge match-goers to refrain from using it going forward after some were heard aiming the specific slur at Billy Gilmour in August 2021, when the Scotland international was on loan at Norwich from Saturday's opponents.
