Two-time defending champions of the Premier League Manchester City won 8-0 but the result has not snatched Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp’s peace of mind. In fact, Klopp admitted that he slept pretty well despite their arch-rivals Manchester City punishing Watford by 8 goals to none in their Premier League encounter on Saturday.
Notably, Pep Guardiola led Manchester City producing an absolutely clinical performance to pummel Watford 8-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. However, despite their wonderful performance, it is Liverpool who continue to remain at the top of the points tally as they defeated Chelsea 2-1 and have a five-point lead.

“I wanted to see the goals. I saw a two-minute, 50 seconds summary after I left the training pitch,” he was quoted as saying by Telegraph.
“Eight goals and two crossbars. I need to watch it fully to really understand it.
“For Watford it was a tough day. If it can happen against any team in the world it will be City. We had a similar situation when we lost there I think 5-0 [in 2017].
“If you have 10 men the worst place in the world is Manchester City. I slept pretty well,” he concluded.
Liverpool will be up against MK Dons in an EFL Cup encounter on Wednesday before an away game against Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday.
