Liverpool thrashed Watford 6-1 today

The Reds steamrollered their hapless opposition with a ruthless attacking display.

And in doing so, they moved past Chelsea at the top of the table by one point.

But manager Klopp says while he wants to win as many points as possible, he doesn’t care where his side sit in the table.

"It is important to collect points for the final third of the season,” he said after the game.

"We will go on and see what happens. League position is not important to me at the moment. It is important that we look like a team that can play well.

"I know a lot has happened here in the past few years. This is not the team two or three years ago this is not the team of 25 years ago, this is a new group.

"We don’t need to be afraid of the future or offer guarantees in November. It is easy to love this game when you are winning games in a row."

Emre Can scored his second goal in two games for Liverpool on Sunday

Roberto Firmino was part of a ferocious Liverpool front line yet again

While Manchester City looked like early favourites for the title in the first eight games of the season, Chelsea and Liverpool now look like the teams to beat after 11 games.

Next up for Klopp’s side is a trip to St Mary’s to take on Southampton after the international break.
