The Reds advanced to the semi-final of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night following an impressive 5-1 victory over David Moyes' West Ham United.
After the Merseysiders went three goals ahead, England international Jarrod Bowen netted for the Hammers, but his effort proved to only be a consolation as Liverpool scored twice more before full-time.
During a post-match interview after his side's convincing win, Klopp revealed that West Ham's top goalscorer this season is his favourite footballer outside of his own club.
"In quarter-finals, everybody can smell the chance to go through," he said, according to the Liverpool Echo.
"In a very busy period, finding a line-up which can go and go and go because West Ham is a physically really strong team. David [Moyes] is doing an incredible job, I have to say.
"They are good again, through in Europe, it's really impressive. Injuries issues as well. Playing without (Michail) Antonio, and Bowen steps up in that position.
"(He is) probably my favourite player besides all my players, I have to say. It's great what he is doing and how he has developed."
