  4. Clough ready to meet "lively" Klopppublished at 17:14

    Burton Albion manager Nigel Clough is ready to meet Liverpool's charismatic boss Jurgen Klopp ahead of their EFL Cup second-round game tonight.

    The Brewers boss told BBC Radio Derby he is not just happy to face the eight-time winners of the cup but to see the "lively character" himself.

    "Everybody gets carried away a little bit in that 90 minutes at times but I think it's wonderful that we've got people like him in English football," he said.

    "I think generally what you see on the touchline in 90 minutes is, in some way, a true representation of the person."
