Jürgen Klopp (56) wants a repeat of Liverpool's game against Tottenham because of the VAR error that cost him the first goal of the weekend.
Spurs won the Premier League game 2-1.
The consequences of the VAR decision in Saturday's defeat, in which the referees wrongly disallowed Luis Díaz's goal due to a misunderstanding of the on-field decision, are still being felt.

Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) released the audio conversation between match officials at Liverpool's request, but Klopp said it made little difference to their opinion.
"The audio didn't change it at all," he told a press conference on Wednesday. "It is an obvious mistake. I think there should be solutions for that. I think the outcome should be a replay.
"The argument against that would be it opens the gates. It is unprecedented. It has not happened before.
"I'm used to wrong and difficult decisions, but something like this never happened and so that is why I think a replay is the right thing to do."
Asked whether the club had or would officially ask the Premier League for a replay, Klopp added: "At this stage we are still going through the information we have."
Liverpool also saw Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota sent off after their unbeaten start to the season came to an end.
PGMOL issued a statement admitting that “serious human error” led to the wrong decision.
