Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says that Bournemouth's Eddie Howe is the "most exciting manager" in the Premier League.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has described Bournemouth's Eddie Howe as "the most exciting manager" in the Premier League.

Howe guided the Cherries into the top flight for the first time in the club's history last summer and they look on course to retain their position before the current campaign comes to an end.

Bournemouth are currently 11th in the standings, 14 points above the drop zone with five games left to play.

Liverpool will travel to the Vitality Stadium to play Bournemouth on Sunday, and Klopp says that he has been very impressed by their manager.

"He's done a brilliant job," Klopp told reporters in Saturday's press conference. "They had bad injuries to key players. I really like the way they handled that situation.

"He's the most exciting manager in this league. He's still young. What he's done is really impressive."
