Liverpool started off a potentially gruelling month in a routine fashion on Saturday.
The Reds didn't have to get out of second gear to beat relegation-threatened Watford 2-0 at Anfield. It was a result that temporarily took Jurgen Klopp's side top of the Premier League table, although they were quickly usurped by Manchester City after their triumph at Burnley.
In addition to fighting on all fronts for silverware, the Reds are also in negotiations to tie down Mohamed Salah to a new contract. The Egyptian's current terms are poised to run out at the end of next season and the lack of an extension has caused some anxiousness at Anfield.
