Klopp's incredible shortening from 50/1 at Saturday lunchtime to 8/11 only 24 hours later is likely a result of rumours circulating that he could be set to resign.
It even led to Paddy Power, for a short time, backing Kop favourite Gerrard as the man to replace him
They cut his odds on being the next man in the Anfield hotseat to 10/11 before the former Liverpool and England captain slowly drifted back out to second favourite and 5/2, behind Klopp's current assistant Pep Lijnders (6/4).
Gerrard currently has Rangers on the verge of clinching a first Scottish Premiership title since 2010/11.
But his imminent arrival as Klopp's replacement now looks far less likely, with the German playing down the weekend speculation during a punchy press conference ahead of Liverpool's Champions League last-16 tie with RB Leipzig.
"I am 53, I’ve worked as a coach for 30 years and I can split off things. I don't carry things around," Klopp explained.
"Of course we are influenced by things, but no-one has to worry about me. The beard gets more and more grey, I don’t sleep a lot, but I‘m full of energy.
"Now we are in this situation I see it as a challenge."
