Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been charged by the FA over comments he made about the officiating in Liverpool's 1-1 draw with West Ham on February 4.
Klopp was critical of referee Kevin Friend's decision making in the second half of the game at the London Stadium, which saw Michail Antonio first-half strike cancel out Sadio Mane's opening goal.
James Milner was clearly offside in the build-up to Mane's goal but the officials missed it.
Klopp suggested that influenced Friend's decision-making in the second half, after he had been made aware of the officiating error at half-time.
Klopp told Sky Sports: "We had good moments, coming through the channels and scored the goal, which I've now been told is offside. This explains a little bit the second half, because I think the referee knew at half-time.
"He knew it for sure at half-time, and then you saw a lot of strange situations. They were not decisive but just rhythm breakers. That obviously didn't help us."
