Pochettino has been reprimanded for his behaviour following Tottenham’s loss to Burnley last month.

He was involved in an altercation with Fourth Official Mike Dean and has now been handed a two-game touchline ban, which includes Tottenham’s trip to Anfield.

The Argentine manager will have to watch from the stands, which could potentially give Liverpool a marginal boost as they look to return to the top of the Premier League.

Liverpool currently sit 2nd in the table, one point behind the leaders Manchester City – who they are looking to overtake.
