Steven Gerrard says he didn't deliberately stamp on Bolton's Kevin Nolan during Monday's Premiership game.
Bolton boss Sam Allardyce made the accusation after Liverpool drew 2-2 against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium.
Allardyce claimed Gerrard should have been sent off along with Mohammed Sissoko, who was involved in a similar incident with El-Hadji Diouf.
But Gerrard says he's surprised he's making it an issue as it was an accident and that Nolan fell into him.
Gerrard said: "It was a complete accident. I am mates with Kevin Nolan. He's a good Scouser so why would I ever try to deliberately hurt him?"
But the Bolton boss described the incident as "serious foul play".
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez claims he did not see the incident.
The draw ended Liverpool's hopes of equalling their club record of 11 straight league wins.
