Jurgen Klopp reacts to sackings of Graham Potter and Brendan Rodgers

Both Graham Potter and Brendan Rodgers were sacked on the same day to take the number of Premier League managers to lose their jobs this season to 12 ahead of Liverpool facing Chelsea

Jurgen Klopp conceded Graham Potter's axe by Chelsea is just "part of the business" but branded the number of sackings this season as "awful" after two managers lost their jobs in one day.

Potter was dismissed from his post on Sunday just seven months after his appointment at Stamford Bridge. Defeat to Aston Villa the day prior proved to be the final act of the former Brighton boss, who won just 12 of his 31 matches in charge.

Potter's axe came on the same day as Brendan Rodgers leaving Leicester. Speaking ahead of the Premier League clash between his struggling Liverpool side and Chelsea on Tuesday, Klopp told a press conference: "I think today the elephant in the room is why am I still sitting here in this crazy world? Last man standing.
