Liverpool lead the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur, following their 3-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp’s men entered the game with a series of defensive injuries and Mohammed Salah was absent with a positive diagnosis for COVID-19.
But it didn’t stop the defending champions from entering the break with a two-goal lead.
Jonny Evans put the ball past his own goalkeeper, before Diogo Jota headed in for 2-0.
Leicester had a chance to back down, but it was Roberto Firmino who sealed a resounding victory for the Reds.
It takes them to 20 points, the same with Spurs who have a higher goal difference.
Liverpool will be next in Brighton, while José Mourinho’s men collide with Chelsea.
