Liverpool have announced they will play the national anthem at Anfield ahead of their game against Brentford on Saturday to mark King Charles III's coronation.
The coronation is one of three events that will be marked before kick-off, along with Liverpool hosting the Eurovision Song Contest and the 20th anniversary of the club's charitable foundation. In their statement, Liverpool noted that the Premier League had "strongly suggested" all clubs play the anthem this weekend and acknowledged that "some supporters have strong views on it".
"Just over a week ago, the Premier League contacted all home clubs and strongly suggested to mark this historic occasion across home matches this weekend and provided a list of activity for clubs to get involved in," they said.
"Before kick-off and in recognition of the Premier League's request to mark the coronation, players and officials will congregate around the centre circle when the national anthem will be played. It is, of course, a personal choice how those at Anfield on Saturday mark this occasion and we know some supporters have strong views on it."
During Liverpool's game against Fulham on Wednesday, chants of "you can stick your coronation up your a***" could be heard from some fans and they also booed Prince William during the national anthem before last year's FA Cup final.
Speaking ahead of the game against Brentford, Klopp added: "The club's position is my position. I have said a couple of times this is definitely a subject I cannot have a proper opinion about.
"I'm from Germany, we don't have a King or a Queen. It is a nice thing to watch, all the weddings are massive in Germany. I'm pretty sure a lot of people in this country will enjoy the coronation, some will not really be interested and some will not like it. That's over the whole country and that's all I can say about it."
A minute's silence following the Queen's death was largely well observed ahead of Liverpool's Champions League clash with Ajax, but supporters have been booing the anthem since at least the 1980s.
It began as a protest against the establishment and the Conservative government's alleged "managed decline" of the city. The government's handling of the Hillsborough disaster and the subsequent cover-up strengthened Liverpool's anti-establishment feeling with Tory MP Irvine Patnick one of the sources for The Sun's coverage of the tragedy.
Many supporters feel they continue to be let down by those in power, pointing to a rise in the use of foodbanks and increasing inequality as evidence.
